What kinds of traits are produced by most mutations?
hair color
How does variation lead to evolition?
Variation is caused by new genetic mutations in a population which lead to different traits in a population. Evolution selets the most useful of these mutation, eventually leading to prominence of new traits within a species or population, or even new species.
What was Samuel de Champlain's traits?
Brave, nice/kind, and most of all caring.
What kind of pattern of inheritance of cystic fibrosis?
Inheritance - Autosomal recessive, requires mutations on both alleles - A single gene on chromosome 7, which encodes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator - There are over 1000 different mutations for this gene - The most common is Delta F508, which makes up 67% of all mutations in the Caucasian population - Caucasians most effected
Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?
Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.
How do twins differ in their physical traits?
They do not for the most part, however, over time as they both grow older the two of them develop different genetic mutations over time, and sometimes when growing up one of them may experience different injuries and complications that the other did not. Basically its life and they are not going to be 100% identical, because everyone has their own genetic mutations and experiences.
Which mutation is the most dangerous?
There is no definite answer to this question many types of mutations can cause death and I'd say that's the most dangerous effect of a mutation. Large Scale mutations, like deletions or amplifications, usually cause the most damage because they effect whole chromosomes. Small Scale mutations are usually less dangerous because they only effect one gene. The worst small scale mutations are insertions and deletions because they change the reading frame. In my personal opinion, harmful mutations that occur in the tumor suppressor genes are the most dangerous because they are what prevent the mutations in cell from being duplicated and without them working a mutated cell can replicate uncontrollably.
What kind of personality women like most?
Desires of personality traits are individual and can not be summed up into a straight forward black and white answer.
What is the most popular styles of stained glass?
The kind that's made of glass. The kind that's made of glass.
Are all mutations passed on to your children?
No, not all mutations are passed on to children. Mutations can occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) and if they are present in those cells, they can be passed on to the next generation. However, most mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring.
Are most of the fruits and vegetables you get at a supermarket the product of accidental mutations?
Every life form is probably the product of accidental mutations! Nowadays mutations are not necessarily accidental--they are called genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Do most mutations occur when DNA is being replicated?
yes
