As long as genes can affect their carrier's behavior, the mutations can do it too. There are little experimental data proving this at the moment. However, look around and you will notice that some of your family more resemble their mother, some others are more like their father. This applies to both physique and mentality. Genes coding for neurotransmitter receptors are considered likely candidates for this role. The links are obvious in some extreme cases - family histories of criminal acts in some cases correlate with inheritance of specific genetic markers.

How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
How can mutations affect protein synthesis in cells What is the result?
Mutations can be a source of genetic
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
Evaluate the significance of mutations and repair of mutations to the evolution of sexual reproduction?
evaluate the significance of mutations and repairof mutations to the evolution of sexual reproduction
Do mutations in genes affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
Do neutral mutations affect biodiversity?
Type your answer here... no, neutral mutations do not affect biodiversity as they are a simple change which does not affect the organism in any way
How can mutations affect protein synthesis in cells What is the result?
Mutations can be a source of genetic
How does cystic fibrosis affect homeostasis?
Cystic fibrosis happens due to mutations in a gene called CFTR and an abnormal behavior impairs homeostasis inside the cell. Cyst
True or false about gene mutations are Point mutations affect just one nucleotide?
yes
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
What Mutation does not affect the offsping?
somatic mutations
How can mutations affect protein synthesis?
it can cause cancer
Do all mutations affect the protein results?
No. Point mutations may have no effect on the protein, however, they can also be very harmful.
How do mutations affect genetic equilibrium?
by introducing new alleles
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.
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
