  1. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement

  2. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • 1. Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • a. process: • If homologs line up askew: A B a b

  3. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • 1. Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • a. process: • If homologs line up askew • And a cross-over occurs A B a b

  4. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • 1. Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • a. process: • If homologs line up askew • And a cross-over occurs • Unequal pieces of DNA will be exchanged… the A locus has been duplicated on the lower chromosome and deleted from the upper chromosome B A a b

  5. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • 1. Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • a. process: • b. effects: • - can be bad: • deletions are usually bad – reveal deleterious recessives • additions can be bad – change protein concentration

  6. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • 1. Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • a. process: • b. effects: • - can be bad: • deletions are usually bad – reveal deleterious recessives • additions can be bad – change protein concentration • - can be good: • more of a single protein could be advantageous • (r-RNA genes, melanin genes, etc.)

Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • a. process: • b. effects: • - can be bad: • deletions are usually bad – reveal deleterious recessives • additions can be bad – change protein concentration • - can be good: • more of a single protein could be advantageous • (r-RNA genes, melanin genes, etc.) • source of evolutionary novelty (Ohno hypothesis - 1970) • where do new genes (new genetic information) come from?

  8. Gene A Duplicated A generations Mutation – may even render the protein non-functional But this organism is not selected against, relative to others in the population that lack the duplication, because it still has the original, functional, gene.

  9. Gene A Duplicated A generations Mutation – may even render the protein non-functional Mutation – other mutations may render the protein functional in a new way So, now we have a genome that can do all the ‘old stuff’ (with the original gene), but it can now do something NEW. Selection may favor these organisms.

  10. If so, then we’d expect many different neighboring genes to have similar sequences. And non-functional pseudogenes (duplicates that had been turned off by mutation). These occur – Gene Families

  11. And, if we can measure the rate of mutation in these genes, then we can determine how much time must have elapsed since the duplication event… Gene family trees…

  12. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome)

  13. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome)

  14. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome) Chromosomes are no longer homologous along entire length B-C-D on top d-c-b on bottom

  15. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome) Chromosomes are no longer homologous along entire length And if a cross-over occurs…. ONE “loops” to get genes across from each other…

  16. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome) The cross-over products are non-functional, with deletions AND duplications

  17. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome) The only functional gametes are those that DID NOT cross over – and preserve the parental combination of alleles

  18. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome) Net effect: stabilizes sets of genes. This allows selection to work on groups of alleles… those that work well TOGETHER are selected for and can be inherited as a ‘co-adapted gene complex’

  19. VI. Mutation • Overview • Changes in Ploidy • Changes in ‘Aneuploidy’ (changes in chromosome number) • D. Change in Gene Number/Arrangement • Mechanism #1: Unequal Crossing-Over • Mechanism #2: Inversion (changes the order of genes on a chromosome) • Mechanism #3: Translocation (gene or genes move to another homologous set)

  20. Translocation Downs. Transfer of a 21 chromosome to a 14 chromosome Can produce normal, carrier, and Down’s child.

Change in Gene Structure • Mechanism #1: Exon Shuffling • Crossing over WITHIN a gene, in introns, can recombine exons within a gene, producing new alleles. Allele “a” EXON 1a EXON 2a EXON 3a Allele “A” EXON 1A EXON 2A EXON 3A
