Deletion
|
When a portion of chromosome is missing
|
|

Inversion
|
a portion of chromosome is snapped off, turned upside down and reattached
|
|
|
Translocation
|
-When a portion of one chromosome is transferred to another chromosome
|
|
|
Duplication
|
A segment has been duplicated, resulting in extra genetic material
|
|
|
Point Mutations
|
Silent Mutation - Does not Change amino acid
Nonsense Mutation - Codes for a stop codon Missense Mutation - Codes for a different amino acid |
|
|
Insertion
|
the insertion of a larger sequence into a chromosome. This can happen due to unequal crossover during meiosis.
|
|
|
Vegetative Reproduction

|
|
Ethanol fermentation
|
Ethanol fermentation (performed by yeast and some types of bacteria) breaks the pyruvate down into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
|
|
|
Lactic Acid Fermentation
|
the NADH donates its extra electrons to the pyruvate molecules. Since the NADH has lost electrons, NAD+ regenerates and is again available for glycolysis. Lactic acid, for which this process is named, is formed by the reduction of pyruvate.
|
|
|
Mutation
|
-What causes mutation
Enviornmental factors such as Ionizing Radiation, (Xrays Gamma Rays), the subatomic particles fly out like bullets. Electromagnetic Radiation (UV Rays) -Random Event (cancer) DNA Polymerase catches most mistakes, but not all. |
