  1. DNA Mutations and Repair Chapter 17 pp. 481-

  2. Mutation Rates and Frequency 1 to 10 mutations per million gametes Incidence within a group For example: swine flu incidence in the U.S

  3. Causes of Mutations Spontaneous Induced

  4. Environmentally Induced DNA changes

  5. Intercalating agents • Insert and distort DNA

  6. Radiation (Techa River) Hiroshima (Aug. 6th, 1945)

  7. Thymine Dimers SOS

  8. Chemicals and Reactions Leading to Mutations

  9. alklyating Deamination Adds OH

  10. Oxidative radicals • Reactive forms of oxygen can lead to these radicals

  11. Detecting mutations with the AMES test

  12. THE AMES TEST Salmonella typimurium

  13. AMES TEST • Saccharin • Aflatoxin 2-aminofluorene

  14. Aflatoxin B1

  15. DNA Repair: general characteristics • Double stranded DNA • Redundancy of pathways
