Could a single mutation cause barbules to form on feather barbs?

Although the cause of barbules to form on feather barbs doesn't sound like a difficult change in evolution, it would likely take more than just a single mutation for such an evolutionary change to occur. Most likely, it would take many mutations.

What is the result of mutation during of meiosis?
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
What impact could a point mutation do?
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
A mutation changes a gene in a cell in the stomach of an organism. This mutation could cause a change in -?
b: the organism, but not its offspring
What could be a harmful mutation?
A mutation in a gene that would predispose someone to a deadly disease, such as breast or ovarian cancer.
What could be a result from the presence of a mutation in an organisms sex cells?
You can have a baby with physical/mental deformities or death of the child.
What does a point mutation cause?
A point mutation is when a single nucleotide switches from G to C or from A to T, or when a single nucleotide is deleted or inserted. It's unlikely for any single mutation to have a significant effect, but the effects that could occur could be anything, ranging from eliminating or altering protein synthesis of a particular protein to altering the regulatory function of a stretch of DNA and thereby affecting the embryological development of an organism.
What is a mutation and how could it occur?
A genetic mutation is a change in a single or several base pair nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. Mutations arise due to random errors during cell replication, as well as mutagens, which are mutation inducing physical or chemical agents.
A change in a single DNA nucleotide is called?
Yes but Mutation point 😂 A. Point Mutation
Explain why a mutation in a sperm or egg cell has different consequences that one in a heart cell?
A mutation in a sperm or egg cell means that the mutation while most likely be passed down to the offspring of that organism. If the mutation is in anything but a gamete, it will not be passed down.
What could be described as a chromosomal mutation?
Chromosomal mutation can have lasting impacts on the person who this happens to. A version of a chromosomal mutation is the mutation that leads to Down's Syndrome.
What is the result of mutation during of meiosis?

What impact could a point mutation do?
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
If mutation occurs in somatic cells could the change be passed on by the mutant to its offspring?
Not with natural reproduction. If you cloned the parent that had the somatic mutation, you could pass it on to the offspring if you used the nucleus from the cell that had the somatic mutation.
Which of the following could be described as a chromosomal mutation?
A chromosomal mutation can occur for a variety of reasons. Some people think that DownÕs syndrome is a mutation but it is more an additional chromosome than a mutation.
What type of mutation results in a gene change in the body's reproductive cells?
Generally, a germ line mutation or sex cell mutation. Could be anything from a point mutation, one amino acid difference, to a whole frame shift mutation.
Can a feather kill you on Earth?
Certainly, the quill of the feather can easily puncture skin or an artery. You could somehow snort one up your nose and suffocate. You could catch any number of diseases from the feather and perish.
Could have knocked you over with a feather?
You could of knocked me over with a feather is an old saying. This saying means, whatever was said or done, is so surprising.
