BIOE 109Summer 2009Lecture 4- Part IMutation and genetic variation
Mutation
2. Gene Flow
3. Genetic drift
4. Natural selectionFour basic processes that can explain evolutionary changes:
Sources of genetic variation
Crossing over during meiosis- creates new combinations of alleles on individual chromosomes
2. Independent assortment- creates new combinationschromosomes in the daughter cells

Crossing over during meiosis- creates new combinations of alleles on individual chromosomes
2. Independent assortment- creates new combinationschromosomes in the daughter cells
3. Mutations- create completely new alleles and genes

Point mutations
Point mutations There are four categories of point mutations:
Point mutations There are four categories of point mutations:1. transitions (e.g., A G, C T)

Copy-number mutations
Copy-number mutations
these mutations change the numbers of genetic elements.
Copy-number mutations
these mutations change the numbers of genetic elements. gene duplication events create new copies of genes.
Copy-number mutations
these mutations change the numbers of genetic elements. gene duplication events create new copies of genes. one important mechanism generating duplications is unequal crossing over.
Unequal crossing-over can generate gene duplications

Copy-number mutations
these mutations change the numbers of genetic elements. gene duplication events create new copies of genes. one mechanism believed responsible is unequal crossing over. over time, this process may lead to the development of multi-gene families.

Chromosomal inversions lock blocks of genes together
Inversions act to suppress crossing-over inviable inviable
Inversions act to suppress crossing-over and can lead to co-adapted gene complexes inviable inviable

Changes in chromosome number are common
Changes in chromosome number are common
in mammals, chromosome numbers range from N = 3 to N = 42.
Changes in chromosome number are common
in mammals, chromosome numbers range from N = 3 to N = 42.
in insects, the range is from N = 1(some ants) to N = 220 (a butterfly)

Genome mutations
Genome mutations polyploidization events cause the entire genome to be duplicated.
