Spontaneous
Just like driving, I'm faster when I'm going in this direction.
Forward mutation
Water, water every where! Let's take some OH out of the H2O...or where ever there are OHs!
Hydroxyltaing agents
I fix things that are missing NH2
Base excision repair
I lost a whole chunk from my DNA!
Deletion
They tested whether mutation occurs randomly or due to physiological response.
Salvador Luria and Max Delbruck
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but X-rays break these.
Sugar-phosphate backbone
What? NH2? Why are you talking to me about organic chemistry man? I'm gonna take you out!
Deaminating agents
Ligase
I used to be an A, now I'm just average C.
Transversion substitution
Velvet cloths are used to make these.
Replica Plates
I sunbathe too long, T-T. That's what happened to me.
UV light caused thymine dimer
Dude! I'm telling ya! Uracil's my bro, man! You know what I mean?
Base analogs (bromouracil)
Hi. Are you GATC? I'm gonna mark your A!
Adenine methylase
I used to have an A. But now I got nothing because this happened to me.
Depurination
I'm an equivalent of a diet with just rice and fish sauce.
Minimum media
I can turn a C, into U by doing this.
Deamination
By adding an ethyl group to a base, I can change how it bonds with others.
Alkylating agents
My job is to remove chunks of nucleotides once they have been cut.
DNA exonucleases
If I have more than 200 CGGs ,I will have this too. Not sure if it's a good thing though.
Fragile X syndrome
I need additional food because I can't produce all of my necessary amino acids. I'm what is called_______.
Auxotroph
My arms are just so twisted, I can't grab my right partner any more.
Tautomerization
If I get inserted into DNA, I can cause deletion or insertion.
Intercalators
We are responsible for cutting DNA backbones when something goes wrong.
DNA endonucleases
I'm flipped out! Thai people would say "from front of the hand to back of the hand".
Inversion mutation
Without me, cells cannot produce their own Ornithine, which is a precursor for the amino acid Arginine.
Acetylornithinase
