Mutations • Carcinogens • For mutations to be passed to your offspring they must occur in what types of cells? • Examples:______________________________ Somatic Cells Versus Germ-line Cells • Carcinogens typically affect what types of cells?___________________
Summary • The genetic code is universal • Mutations can be harmful • Mutations are a source of genetic variability • The genetic code is a triplet code. Three bases code for one amino acid • Substances that cause mutations are called mutagenic agents. Many mutagenic agents are also carcinogenic.
