Haploid-
Having the same number of sets of chromosomes as a germ cell or half as many a somatic cell.
Diploid-
Having a pair of each type of chromosome, so that the basic chromosome is doubled: Diploid somatic cells.
Polypoidy
Means the strawberries have an extra set of chromosomes
Mutations-
Changes in the bases of the DNA molecule
Mutations affect the what?
genetic information
Mutations can change the proteins made by a cell or
prevent a protein from being made at all.
Point Mutations:

Affects ________
Usually called a _________

May or may not affect the protein being made
one nucelotide
substitution
Frame Shift Mutations
(Inserting or Deleting a nucleotide)
Insertion-
Deletion-

These shift the reading fram of the DNA
__________________________________

(remember DNA is read in groups of 3!)
Insertion- adding a nucleotide
Deletion- deleting a nucleotide

and can cause drastically different results
Change over time
