Name: ____________ Lab Exercise Lesson 7 : Mutation Reading:  Principles of Genetics, Snustad& Simmons 2012: Chapter 1 3  DNA is Constantly Changing through the Process of Mutation  Loewe, L. (2008) Genetic mutation. Nature Education 1(1) Video (Orient yourself to basics of mutation by watching these videos) : Professor Anderson’s Mutation Video Damage to DNA Leads to Mutation Lab Exercise Go to website on Mutations are Changes in Genetic Information Explore the Concept , Animation (be sure to follow the arrows to view all the screens), Video pages. Answer the following questions: 1. Describe the experiments of Hermann Muller (use this lab webs ite including the videos of Elof Carlson , Chapter 13 in text reading , and other resources) . (Describe the experiments in detail using summarizing and citing the different resources you researched (~300 words). 2. What did these experiments of Hermann Muller demonstrate? Why were these experiments important to the study of genetics ? Under the Problem tab of this website identify the number of point mutations between humans and chimpanzees. Take a screenshot of the highlighted differences and paste the image here. How many nucleotide differences were there between humans and chimpanzees in the 379 - nucleotide part of the mt control region?
