3.30 Mutation

Notes


Mutation = Rare, random change in genetic material that can be inherited

DNA -> Base sequence (gene) -> Form of gene = Allele

1. Changes in base sequence due to certain events
2. New version might result in production of NEW PROTEIN
3. Change in Phenotype

Dominant vs. Recessive = due to mutation, which changes base sequence of gene
