A mutation in which a single base is added to or deleted from DNA is called what?
translocation .. this is wrong.its a point mutation :)
How does molecular genetics add to your understanding of genes?
molecular genetics adds to our genes by DNA molecules.
What is difference between DNA and genes?
A gene is a section of DNA that will eventually code for a specific protein. All genes are composed of DNA but not all DNA are genes. or It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a polypeptide. or A gene is a segment of DNA that will transcript for a specific protein.
When Engineers can examine the DNA of a plant and turn certain genes on or off and even add new genes from other DNA stranded what is this process called?
Genetic Engineering
How can cell division cause differentiation?
If you mean change in genes, this is done by a process called recombination, whereby chromosomes switch legs at random points to help add variety to our genes. But I suspect you mean how identical cells in some kind of embryo form different types of cells. At a point in the growth of the embryo, the cells start reacting to external factors, mostly chemicals produced by the cells around it. Although all cells contain all genes, the chemicals act as a switch to turn genes on or off. Cells on the outside of the embryo get different signals than those on the inner layers. Cells also tend to express genes that are expressed in the cells surrounding it, because of the chemical signals given off by those cells. As cells start to change what genes they express and become more specialized they give off more and more specific chemicals, making the differentiation that much more complex. This is a very complicated process, but I hope that this very brief overview has helped. For more information, research developmental biology, differentiation, and specialization. I have a BS in molecular and cell biology.
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
Can you add ADD GENES?
no
When a x chromosome is add is added to your mothers x chromosome what will you be?
A Male
The chromosome abnormality that occuswhen part of one chromosome breaks off and is add to a different chromosome is?
Translocation
What are genes called when they have the same chromosome?
homogeneous if they are different heterogeneousness a way to remember if you take the word homo out of homogeneous if you take out the o and add an a then you get home and at home you are with family who shares same traits.
A mutation in which a single base is added to or deleted from DNA is called what?
translocation .. this is wrong.its a point mutation :)

What types of zombies can be mutated in zombie farm?
You can mutate any zombie you just need to buy it in the upgrade tab and its in the mutation tab add me too my game center name is itzisaiah

What is the focus of the research being done on Down syndrome?
From the Down Syndrome Research Center of Stanford University:It is known for causes the disorder. It's the increased activity of the extra genes on chromosome 21. Unlike other disorders, where genes are mutated or missing, in Down syndrome there are just too many copies of particular genes. The task of identifying the genes that cause Down syndrome, and trying to shut off the activity of the extra genes, is in theory much simpler than trying to fix a mutated gene or trying to add one that is missing.See the Related Link to the Down Syndrome Research Center of Stanford University.
Are mutations the only way to add new genes to a gene pool?
yes. independent assortment and crossing over in mitosis will add new combinations of alleles to the DNA but only mutations will create new genes.
What are two processes that add to the genetic diversity of humans?
mutation and random mateing maybe not sure apex sucks anal
