WHAT IS MUTATION? A mutation is a change in the amount,arrangement or structure of the DNA of an organism or changes in genetic material of an organism.
##why does mutation occur???........
05/03/2023 3
Reasons Behind Mutation
Chemically or by
physical agentsNaturally
e.g., replication
error
05/03/2023 4
Types of mutation
05/03/2023 5
Mutation Types
Spontaneous mutation&
Induced mutation
Point mutation&
Chromosomal mutation
Somatic mutation&
Germ cell mutation

Effects of mutation…Changes in genetic constitution of an organism changes it for
good. It causes several abnormalities in organisms like plant or animal. It is a major reason behind genetical diseases.
Like huntington disease, cystic fibrosis, sickel cell anemia etc and even DEATH.

Does mutation only cause diseases or death to us???.....
NO…We can use it to make
our life better

What is mutation breeding? The breeding that is done artificially by induced
mutation is known as mutation breeding.
What is breeding?Breeding is when the animal/plant is specifically
chosen by humans to create a special offspring
This method is specially used in plant breeding for crop improvement

Induced mutationA mutation that is produced by treatment with a
physical or chemical agent that affects the deoxyribonucleic acid molecules of a living
organism.
05/03/2023 11
MutagenThe chemical and physical agents are used for
induced mutation is known as mutagen
05/03/2023 12
There are two types of mutagen Chemical mutagen
1. Alkylatic agents: MNU, ENU, DMS, EMS etc.
2. Azide, nitrous acid, antibiotics, base analogues etc.
05/03/2023 13
And the other is…..Physical mutagen
1. X-rays, gamma rays2. Neutrons, beta particles, alpha
particacles etc.Note: in mutation breeding the
gamma radiation technique is done at ATOMIC GARDEN .

Mutagen treatement• These parts of a plant are used for mutagen treatement: seeds, pollen
grains, corns, bulb, vegtative propagules, complete plant.• Mutagens generally induce a high frequency of chromosomal changes
and meiotic and mitotic irregularities.• Mutagen Treatments
• reduces germination
• growth rate
• vigour &
• fertility

ACIEVMENTS IN MUTATION BREEDING
Mutation destroys our life but modern science turns it into blessing. Followings are some prove of them.
vaccinated bananaScientists have developed a variety which can be use as vaccine for
hepatitis-B and cholera

ACIEVMENTS IN MUTATION BREEDING
Purple tomatoesRecently purple colored tomato has been introduced which is rich in
antioxident

ACIEVMENTS IN MUTATION BREEDING
Pollution plantThese plant can consume more than 90% of the pollutants in the air and
groundwater whereas normal plant only consume 3% to 4%

ACIEVMENTS IN MUTATION BREEDINGin bangladesh
In Bangladesh more than 44 mutant varieties belonging to 12 different crops species have been released through mutation breeding. BINA in mymenshingh is the primary centre for mutation breeding.
