,Term 3 of 149
2 Categories of Mutations
1. Elongation of cell
2. Replication of chromosome
3. Separation of chromosomes into 2 parts of cell
4. Formation of septum in middle
- Homologous: involves exchange of homologous sequences of DNA between 2 DNA
molecules
- Site-specific: occurs at specific target sites and is carried out by enzymes called
recombinases
- Transposition: process by which a mobile genetic element such as transposable
element moves
Occurs when small bits of RNA (miRNA or siRNA) inhibit gene expression by binding to
mRNA and either degrading it or preventing translation
- Spontaneous: naturally occurring mutation in absence of an external agent, or
mutagen
- Induced: caused by a mutagen - chemical or physical factors that directly damage
DNA
