mutation in exons are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in introns
because mutaion in exons are silent mutation

What Mutation does not affect the offsping?
somatic mutations
How does a mutation in a gene affect the order of DNA based?
A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein. If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, the mutation can be passed on to an offspring and affect the offspring's phenotype.
Mutations in mitochondrial genes often cause disorders that affect cells?
the mitochondrial mutations effect to those cells which have maternal inherritance character and the mutation is called poky mutation
What mutation affects an organism's offspring?
mutation can affect an organism's offspring
Does gene mutation affect metabolism?
yes and no,some mutations are only inward and affect inward organisms. Some are only outward like apperacance.
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
A mutation in a gene may not affect an individual's phenotype because?
A mutation in a gene may not always affect an individuals phenotype because the mutation may occur in a non-coding region. This is known as silent mutation.
What Mutation does not affect the offsping?
somatic mutations
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.
What One example of a mutation that would not affect an organisms phenotype?
A Missense Mutation.It is a point mutation where the mutations alters the base sequence without changing the resulting function of the subsequent protein. This is usually when the mutation does not change the amino acid which the codon codes for.
What are Symptoms of the human mutation and effects?
The curious thing about any type of genetic mutation is that it can change anything in any place on the affected chromosome. Most genetic mutations have no affect on the phenotype. In some extreme cases though (i.e. LOTS of radiation) offspring are known to have extensive genetic mutation.

What is the result if mutations occur during meiosis?
The offspring of the organism will have a mutation.
