∙ 12y agoI assume you are referring to insertion and deletion, but there are in fact many types of mutations.
insertion: genetic material is added at some point withing a sequence: aaaaa-aaaaa --> aaaaa-bbbbb-aaaaa
deletion: part of a DNA sequence is removed:
aaaaa-bbbbb-aaaaa --> aaaaa-aaaaa
point mutation: a single base pair change:
aaaaaaaaaaa --> aaaaabaaaaa
amplification: additional repeats of existing DNA:
aaaaa-bc-aaaaa --> aaaaa-bcbcbcbcbc-aaaaa
trans-location (many types in this subcatagory, but generally speaking): rearrangement:
aaaaabbbbbccccc ---> aaaaacccccbbbbb

Changes in DNA are called mutations?
the answer is mutations.......................
Define a genetic mutation and state the types of genetic mutations?
Point mutation: single nucleotide is replaced with another. ex: sickle cell anemia.
Are genetic mutations always harmful to the individual?
Genetic mutations are not always harmful to the individual. A few may be beneficial.
Genetic information is alterd when changes in the DNA sequence is called?
It is called mutations. I'm 100% sure.
How do genetic mutations influence biological diversity?
In most cases mutations increase genetic variation, but only if they propagate to later generations.
Are all mutations generic?
Yes. All mutations of the genetic material are genetic.
Changes in DNA are called mutations?
the answer is mutations.......................
What are the genetic mutations of dinosaurs?
HA! there are no genetic mutations! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! no mutants
What genetic material are called mutations?
Sudden genetic change in the DNA of an organism called mutations.
Define a genetic mutation and state the types of genetic mutations?
Point mutation: single nucleotide is replaced with another. ex: sickle cell anemia.
What can mutations be a source of?
Mutations create changes in the genetic code. There are different types of mutations and vary in degree of harm or even benefit to the organism. If the mutation happens to be beneficial to the organism, then it can be passed down to its offspring and thus this leads to genetic variation in the population.
Are genetic mutations always harmful to the individual?
Genetic mutations are not always harmful to the individual. A few may be beneficial.
What is a source of genetic variation that refers to a random error in the genetic code?
Mutations involve changes in the DNA code.
Which increases genetic variation?
Mutations
Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?
mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.
Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?
The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.
How can mutations affect protein synthesis in cells What is the result?
Mutations can be a source of genetic
