Mutation Substitution

Mutation Substitution:

A mutation that exchanges one or more bases for another. This is also called point mutation.

Example: THE CAT ATE THE RAT
   THE CGT ATE THE RAT

Example it can cause: Sickle Cell






Reflection:
Mutation Substitution is a short, simple topic so it was easy. There was not much more I learned from what I already knew from mutations. I have a family member who had color blindness and with a mutation they then passed it on and one of there children then got it. I read more about it and learned that more men got it then women.

    good job on the reflection.I think you could have done better giving more info about mutations like addition and deletion. I did like where you got your information from.

    Great job!! great info for mutations, couldve added the 3 different types of mutations and went over them in a simple way.

    I like the way your post was laid out, very to the point and organized! You could have had a little bit more information though. As far as your reflection, I have people in my family who are colorblind too; including myself!

Anaerobic Energy Production - MORGAN BANKS

ANAEROBIC ENERGY PRODUCTION  Anaerobic Energy Production is one form of Cellular Respiration  This form requiers no oxygen  Is used for a fast burst of energy Occurs mostly in prokaryotes cells  Fermentation 1- lactic acid (makes muscles sore)  2- Alocholic REFLECTION - Anaerobic Production has no oxygen, therefore many of the things we do, do not involve anaerobic production! It involves the aerobic energy production. This is not only a good review for you but for me as well on how to justify the two.  http://slideplayer.com/slide/9078035/ MORE INFO: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Aerobic_Respiration_vs_Anaerobic_Respiration VIDEO/QUIZ:  http://study.com/academy/lesson/anaerobic-exercise-definition-benefits-examples.html

Genetic Variation: Mutations

Image
What is a mutation? A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence.  There are three types of mutations: * addition: One or more nucleotide base pairs are inserted into a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation)  *deletion: The removal of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation) *substitution: A mutation that exchanges one or more bases for another (also called point mutation) How do they occur & why? Mutations for randomly, but different mutations occur different ways.  Most of the time a mutation comes from radiation (so like the sun, X-rays, tanning salons, etc). Some mutations can be genetic though, like autism. Autism is caused when theres an extra chromosome. Another common mutation would be cancer. Cancer occurs when cells uncontrollably grow, and don't die.  Can it be prevented?  Unfortunately, mutations are random. The best way to prevent them is to protect yoursel...
