A mutation can be considered a benefit to an organism in many ways. Depending on what the mutation is, this can help an organism escape death, or be faster, or even hide better from predators.
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless a mutation occurs. Mutation is a process wherein the genetic material of an organism is altered.
A mutation that affects the gametes of an organism is called
Not all mutations are harmful. A mutation the give the organism antibiotic resistance, for example, is quite helpful. A different mutation that causes a necessary protein to misfold may result in death. In general mutations that affect proteins that are necessary for life will result in the death of the organism. One such mutation is in the protein p53 which is necessary to prevent a cell from growing uncontrollable (cancer). A mutation in p53 could result in a cell with damaged DNA to reproduce - this is what we call cancer.
A mutation which results in the organism being unable to produce an essential vitamin or amino acid. An example would be how humans cannot produce vitamin C.
The offspring of the organism will have a mutation.
DNA mutations can lead to genetic disorders, diseases, or even the death of an organism. Which of the following factors is most likely to cause a mutation in DNA?
