What happens when a mistake happens in transcription replication or translation?
Nothing too horrible will occur if RNA or proteins are messed up. Likely the protein will have no biological function. However, if there is a mistake in DNA, then cell death or even cancer can occur.
What is a mutation and what causes mutations?
Any sudden change in the genetic material is known as MUTATION.Mutation may occure at GENE LEVEL or CHROMOSOMAL LEVEL.TYPES:Missence mutation.Nonsence mutation.Sielent mutation.Frame shift mutation.
New mRNA is made through a process of?
transcription translation replication
How do eukaryotes reproduce?
Interphase is when DNA replication occurs. :)
When one base is changed to another at a single position in the DNA sequence of a gene a mutation has occurred?
No that occurs all the time through translocation. It is not a mutation.
What is a gene mutation?
Gene mutation is the change in the DNA sequence that is permanent and leads to new genetic traits and even diseases. This type of mutation is triggered through hereditary process or through several factors in the environment.
What changes during a mutation?
Mutations can improve the trait, harm the trait, or neither.
What is it called when DNA molecule reproduces itself?
through replication, if u have to be specific, its DNA replication
What is one source of genetic variations in sexual reproduction?
It is through mutation.

How does the DNA molecule replicate itself?

Explain where mutations can develop at the cellular level?
Mutations can arise at the cellular level for a variety of reasons. The most common source of mutations is an error in the copying of genes, known as proofreading error. Mutations may also arise though the presence of a mutagen which can also cause a proofreading error. Similarly, UV light can damage the strands of DNA such that the attempt to fix the error can introduce a mutation. Finally, the chromosome itself can be the source of mutation either through breakage or anomalous linkage.
When does replication go through the cell cycle?
DNA replication occurs during the S stage of interphase. The S means synthesis and refers to the synthesis of new DNA during DNA replication.
New mRNA is made through a process of?
transcription translation replication
How do eukaryotes reproduce?
Interphase is when DNA replication occurs. :)
Does cell growth and replication continue through the cell cycle?
No. Cell growth and DNA replication occur during interphase but do not occur during mitosis and cytokinesis.
