∙ 9y agoMutation can be defined as sudden heritable change. It actually means that a change in a base pair or deletion or addition of bases too. This may cause drastic effect based on where the mutation happened. It if happens at a regulatory or coding region, the gene may produce dysfunctional product or no proeins at all.

∙ 10y agoYes. Mutations can and do cause changes in DNA sequences. All of the variations that we see in a species are due to mutations in the DNA, and cancer is caused by changes in DNA.

What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
What do changes in the DNA sequence or mutations help drive?
Evolutionary Change refers to the changes in the DNA sequence or mutations to help drive.
What best explains why mutations cannot cause evolution?
Biology has catalogued many traits produced by point mutations (changes at precise positions in an organism's DNA)--bacterial resistance to antibiotics, for example.To say otherwise is incorrect.But mutations do cause evolution.

Sometimes mutations in DNA can cause control of the cell cycle to fail. What might happen if such a mutation occurred in a person's DNA?
The failure of DNA replication during the cell cycle can cause mutations. If such mutations occurred in a person's DNA, the person can end up getting cancer.

What is one way that changes occur in a DNA Sequence?
Mutations (point mutations, inversions, translocations...) cause changes in DNA Simply stated, a mistake made while DNA copies causes changes in DNA.

What is one way that changes can occur in a DNA sequence?
A radioactive carbon isotope can "convert" ... changing the chemistry of a codon.
Changes in DNA are called mutations?
the answer is mutations.......................
Changes in DNA is called?

What do changes in the DNA sequence or mutations help drive?
Evolutionary Change refers to the changes in the DNA sequence or mutations to help drive.
What is a source of genetic variation that refers to a random error in the genetic code?
Mutations involve changes in the DNA code.
How does chemestry affect cancer?
Chemicals that do not cause cancer by themselves but can act with another chemical to cause cancer (cocarcinogens). Damage to DNA in cells can lead to cancer. ... Unrepaired DNA damage can lead to mutations, or changes, in genes, and mutations in certain genes can cause cancer. You can also inherit mutations.
Why does natural selection depend on variations and DNA?
The variations in the DNA are responsible in differences between desirable traits and unwanted traits. Mutations also cause changes in the DNA.
