Document Summary

Induced: caused by a mutagen physical or chemical agent, causes mutations. Frameshift: insertion or deletion of bases, changes translation codons, either spontaneous or induced. Base analogs: similar to bases, incorporate into dna, base pair differently than base replaced. Specific mispairing: mutagen changes specific bases, changing base pairing. Alkalyating agent adds ch3 group to o on guanine. Intercalating agents: get between bases, causing distortions, causes frame shift mutations. Uv light, radiation, other mutagens cause damage to dna that prevents replication. Silent: no change in amino acids of proteins produced, genetic code. Neutral: change in amino acids does not affect protein function. Missence: change in amino acids that affects protein function. Prepare pour plate of bacteria on complete media. Isolate colonies which grow on complete media but not his- media his mutants (auxotrophs) Take a culture of his- salmonella auxotroph, plate on. No his without mutagen prototroph colonies appear due to spontaneous revertant mutations.
