Mutation, a change in an organism's genetic material, can result in mutants. Learn about different types of mutations like chromosome mutations and non-disjunction during meiosis. Explore Down's Syndrome, Turner's Syndrome, Klinefelter's Syndrome, and polyploidy, with their implications. Discover how polyploidy can lead to larger plants with economic significance in agriculture.

  1. Mutation www.assignmentpoint.com

  2. Mutation • Change in structure or amount of an organism’s genetic material • Change in genotype produces change in phenotype = mutant • 2 types of mutation • Chromosome mutation • Change in structure of one chromosome www.assignmentpoint.com

  3. Chromosome mutations • Change in chromosome number • Non-disjunction in meiosis • Non-disjunction of sex chromosomes • Complete non-disjunction and polyploidy www.assignmentpoint.com

  4. Non-disjunction during meiosis • Spindle fibre fails during meiosis • Members of one pair of homologous chromosomes fail to become separated • 2 gametes receive extra copy of affected chromosome • 2 gametes lack that chromosome www.assignmentpoint.com

  5. www.assignmentpoint.com

  6. Down’s Syndrome • Non-disjunction in chromosome 21 • Occurs in human egg mother cell • One or more abnormal eggs formed (n = 24) • Fertilised by normal sperm (n = 23) • Formation of abnormal zygote (2n = 47) www.assignmentpoint.com

  7. www.assignmentpoint.com

  8. www.assignmentpoint.com

  9. Non dis-junction of sex chromosomes www.assignmentpoint.com

  10. Turner’s syndrome • Gamete with no sex chromosomes fuses with normal X gamete • Zygote has chromosome complement 2n = 45 • Individuals are female and short in stature • Infertile because ovaries haven’t developed normally www.assignmentpoint.com

  11. www.assignmentpoint.com

  12. Klinefelter’s syndrome • XX egg fertilised by normal Y sperm or • Normal X egg is fertilised by an XY sperm • Zygote has chromosome complement 2n = 47 (44 + XXY) www.assignmentpoint.com

  13. www.assignmentpoint.com

  14. Always male • Normally infertile • Cannot produce sperm www.assignmentpoint.com

  15. Complete non-disjunction and polyploidy • All the spindle fibres in a gamete mother cell fail • All homologous pairs fail to become separated • Production of abnormal diploid gametes • Each contains 2 complete sets of chromosomes instead of one www.assignmentpoint.com

  16. Polyploidy • Fertilisation of abnormal gametes • Formation of mutant plants which possess complete extra sets of chromosomes • This type of chromosome mutation is called polyploidy www.assignmentpoint.com

  17. A: the strawberry plant is exposed to a chemical B: due to the effect of chemical, total non-disjunction at meiosis produces diploid gametes(2n) C: two diploid gametes fuse at fertilisation D: a new plant develops which has four sets of chromosomes (4n) www.assignmentpoint.com

  18. Economic significance • Polyploid plants are larger than diploid relatives • Increased seed and fruit size • Many commercially developed crop plants are polyploid -apples -strawberries -tomatoes -wheat • Give greater yields www.assignmentpoint.com

  19. Effects of polyploidy • Uneven sets of chromosome -polyploidy plants are sterile • Produce seedless fruit • Increase in vigour • Resistance to disease www.assignmentpoint.com
