∙ 14y agoThe success of a genetic mutation relies on its ability to help the life form adapt to its environment, to ensure survival, and that the trait is spread into a community through reproduction.

When a child is born with a chromosomol mutation when did the mutation occur?
during meiosis (i believe), its not transcription i know that much
How many amino acids would this protein have if a mutation occurred and the 7th dna base pair of the dna strand was changed from a-t to t-a?
There would be no change in no. of amino acids as this mutation is miscense mutation, no . of amino acids changes with frame shift mutations .
When a child is born with a chromosomal mutation when did the mutation occurs?
during meiosis
If iodine were not available how would you determine whether starch hydrolysis had occurred?
If iodine is not available, determine whether starch hydrolysis has occurred using a refractometer or plot the yeast that forms.
What would you see if point mutation occurred during DNA replication?
A change to the newly synthesized DNA strand, but not the template.
How might biologist determine whether a mutation has occurred and if so what type of mutation is it?
The comparison between the DNA sequence of normal DNA to the mutated DNA will be made. The type of mutation will be revealed during the base sequence.
What type of mutation occurred in the strand of DNA?
genetic mutation
What type of mutation has occurred when dna segment is changed from aattagaaatag to attagaaatag?
a point mutation
How does a mutation in a cell affect an organism?
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
How many chromosomes in an infant?
46 unless a mutation has occurred

The DNA sequence of a gene changed from AACTTG to AACATG. What kind of mutation occurred.?
The DNA sequence of gene that change AACTTG to AACATG are called missense mutation. This is known as a process.
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 year did the Australian government say sorry for the stolen generations?
The apology by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to th Stolen Generations occurred in 2008.
What might happen if such a mutation occurred in persons DNA?
The person might end up getting cancer.
During the transcription of a certain protein an extra cytosine was placed into a gene region throwing off the correct amino acid sequence what type of mutation occurred?
A Displacement Mutation has occured.
How many amino acids would this protein have if a mutation occurred and the 7th dna base pair of the dna strand was changed from a-t to t-a?
