Are genetic mutations always harmful to the individual?
Genetic mutations are not always harmful to the individual. A few may be beneficial.
How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
Are mutations always bad for an organism?
Mutations are changes in an organism's DNA that can be harmful, beneficial, or have no effect at all. While some mutations can be harmful and lead to diseases or disorders, others can be beneficial and provide an advantage in certain environments. So, mutations are not always bad for an organism.
Which of these statements represents a common misconception regarding point mutations?
mutations increase variety in a population. (apex)
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
What is a detectable change in drama?
the detectable is acting
Two causes of mutation?
Two types of mutations are Point Mutations and the other is Frameshift Mutations. Piont mutations include; deletions, insertions, and substitutions. These mutations casue a slight change in the amino acid usually resulting in a change in one amino acid. The second type, frameshift mutations involve many changes and almost always results in many changes in the codons.
Is 'mutations are beneficial to organisms' a true statement about mutations?
Not always. Mutations can have either beneficial, neutral, or harmful effects on organisms. Whether a mutation is beneficial or not depends on how it impacts the organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
What can mutations do and do not do?
Mutations can introduce genetic variation within a population, which can lead to diversity, adaptation, and evolution. However, mutations do not always result in beneficial changes and can also lead to genetic disorders or diseases.
Is mutations that occur in body cells will always be threatening to the organism?
yes, true.
Are mutations in the DNA sequence gene transient changes?
Successful mutations will persist. Mutations usually occur during replication. Some mutations will flourish depending on environmental factors.
What kind of mutations will always be passed to offspring in the gametes or reproductive cells of organisms?
All characteristics were at some point mutations. Successful genetic mutations that are present in a parent in the homozygous form willl always be transmitted into the gametes. Whether the offspring will have the characteristic phenotypically hinges ont the genetics of both parents and which alleles are in the fertilized egg.
