BIOL 2053 Lecture 10: Mechanisms of Variation
Document Summary
Mutation : permanent , heritable changes in genetic material. Base analogues : structurally slips bases or physical agents ) Dna - modifying agents chemically change nitrogenous bases ( substitutions ) Forward mutation : from wild type to mutant form. Formed by crossing chromosomes during gene transfer cparents sister between over kids) meiosis. Create stable recombinant with characteristics org ) of donor and recipient . transformation.
