What disease is called by a genetic mutation?
cystic fibrosis
What are the main sources of heritable variation in a population?
mutations, recombination, random pairing of gametes
A change in the genetic material of a cell is called?
Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.
How does genetic mutation occur?
Gene mutations may occur in at least three Ways: they can be inherited from a parent, or acquired during a person's lifetime - See Epigenetics - or acquired during a person's lifetime - see Strontium 90.
Mutations in body cells can be passed on to offspring of the affected individual?
No. As long as the mutation does not occur in the reproductive cells (sperms or ovum), it will not be pass on to the offspring.
DNA mutations can lead to genetic disorders diseases or even the death of an organism Which of the following factors is most likely to cause a mutation in DNA?
DNA mutations can lead to genetic disorders, diseases, or even the death of an organism. Which of the following factors is most likely to cause a mutation in DNA?
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
How would a protein be changed if a mutation caused a base to be added?
A mutation in which an extra nitrogen base is added is called a frameshift mutation. The rest of the sequence after the mutation will code for different amino acids, which will result in the alteration of the protein. Frameshift mutations cause severe genetic disorders.
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
How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
What disorders or diseases could result from a mutation in the amino acid sequence of the molecule or in the loss of the entire molecule?
diseases such as body weakness
What are mutations that occur at a single point?
Such mutations are called point mutation or gene mutation.
What is one way mutations happen?
Exposure to radiation, but mutation is not like in comic books, when you mutate, you usually mutate of diseases
What disease is called by a genetic mutation?
cystic fibrosis
What is the original source of all the different alleles of a genes?
A mutation in a pre-existing gene. If the mutation effects the phenotype derived from the gene, it is determined to be a different allele. Mutations can be small (such as a single nucleotide polymorphism) or large (such as entire genome duplication).
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
Changes in DNA are called mutations?
the answer is mutations.......................
