However, gene mutations are small-scale alterations in the nucleotide sequence, and hence they are sometimes corrected through gene regulatory and repair mechanisms. However, some gene mutations remain without repairing. Sickle cell anaemia, haemophilia, cystic fibrosis, Huntington syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease, many cancers and lactose intolerance are some of the diseases occur due to gene mutations.
Chromosome mutation is a large-scale alteration of the chromosomes of an organism, where either the number or the structure of the chromosomes changes. There are three main types of chromosomal mutations namely duplications, inversions, and deletions. When a particular part of the DNA strand duplicates, the number of genes in a chromosome will increase. It causes both structural and numerical alteration in the chromosome. Sometimes a portion of a chromosome, which contains several genes in the DNA strand removes and rejoins inversely to the original position.
This is known as an inversion, and it is a type of chromosome mutation. Inversions do not cause the number to change, but different interactions may result as the gene order has been changed. Hence, the phenotypes become different or abnormal. Most mutations are not harmful, but some can be. A harmful mutation can result in a genetic disorder or even cancer. Another kind of mutation is a chromosomal mutation.
Chromosomes, located in the cell nucleus, are tiny threadlike structures that carry genes. A chromosome consists of a molecule of DNA together with proteins. Sometimes, a long segment of DNA is inserted into a chromosome, deleted from a chromosome, flipped around within a chromosome, duplicated, or moved from one chromosome to another.
Such changes are usually very harmful. One example of a chromosomal mutation is a condition called Down syndrome. In each cell, humans normally have forty-six chromosomes, consisting of two copies of the twenty-three kinds of chromosomes. Down syndrome usually results from the presence of one extra copy of a particular chromosome, or an extra portion of that chromosome.
The presence of that extra chromosome leads to problems with certain organs of the body, such as the heart. It can also lead to leukemia—a cancer of the blood-forming cells—and produce mental disabilities. Many people with Down syndrome also have distinct facial features. Mutations can be inherited or acquired during a person's lifetime.
Mutations that an individual inherits from their parents are called hereditary mutations. They are present in all body cells and can be passed down to new generations. Once an acquired mutation is passed down, it is a hereditary mutation. Acquired mutations are not passed down if they occur in the somatic cells, meaning body cells other than sperm cells and egg cells. Mutation or polymorphism? Viguera, E.

Mutations and the Environment.
DNA interacts with the environment , and sometimes that interaction can be detrimental to genetic information. In fact, every time you go outside, you put your DNA in danger, because ultraviolet UV light from the Sun can induce mutations in your skin cells.
One type of UV-generated mutation involves the hydrolysis of a cytosine base to a hydrate form, causing the base to mispair with adenine during the next round of replication and ultimately be replaced by thymine. Indeed, researchers have found an extremely high rate of occurrence of this UV-induced C-to-T fingerprint-type mutation in genes associated with basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer Seidl et al.
Mutations Caused by Chemicals. Oxidizing agents, commonly known as free radicals, are substances that can chemically modify nucleotides in ways that alter their base-pairing capacities.
For instance, dioxin intercalates between base pairs, disrupting the integrity of the DNA helix and predisposing that site to insertions or deletions. Similarly, benzo[a]pyrene, a known carcinogen and a component of cigarette smoke, has been demonstrated to induce lesions at guanine bases in the tumor suppressor gene P53 at codons , , and These codons are the major mutational hot spots seen in clinical studies of human lung cancers Denissenko et al.
Mutations such as these that are fairly specific to particular mutagens are called signature mutations. A variety of chemicals beyond those mentioned here are known to induce such mutations.
Spontaneous Mutations. Mutations can also occur spontaneously. For instance, depurination Figure 5 , in which a purine base is lost from a nucleotide through hydrolysis even though the sugar-phosphate backbone is unaltered, can occur without an explicit insult from the environment. If uncorrected by DNA repair enzymes, depurination may result in the incorporation of an incorrect base during the next round of replication. Figure 5: Depurination is a spontaneous mutation that occurs when a nucleotide loses a purine base.
During replication, two strands of DNA separate. If a nucleotide on one strand has lost a purine base, the apurinic site on this strand cannot provide a template for a complementary base on the newly-synthesized strand.
An incorrect nucleotide most often adenine is inserted into the newly-synthesized strand, across from the empty apurinic site on the template strand. The result is a normal double-stranded DNA molecule that does not contain a mutation, and a mutant double-stranded DNA molecule. When the mutant DNA undergoes a second round of replication, the incorrectly incorporated base adenine acquired during the previous replication round is used as a template for synthesizing a new DNA strand.
The two resulting double-stranded DNA molecules each contain a permanent mutation in both of their strands. Figure 7. References and Recommended Reading Denissenko, M. Science , — Greenblatt, M.
