DNA is formed out of proteins, mutations can cause the bonds between the chains to loosen or not form at all. It may also cause additonal bonds forming and changet the order of amino acids involved in the chain.
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
All genetic disorders affect the structure of proteins.
Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome. Unlike a gene mutation which alters a single gene or larger segment of DNA on a chromosome, chromosome mutations change and impact the entire chromosome.
. by changing the number of mRNA bases that make up the codons 2. by preventing the ribosome from binding to the mRNA 3. by changing the sequence in amino acids brought to the ribosome 4. by creating codons with no complimentary anti-codons
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

CMT is caused by mutations in genes that produce proteins involved in the structure and function of either the peripheral nerve axon or the myelin sheath. Although different proteins are abnormal in different forms of CMT disease, all of the mutations affect the normal function of the peripheral nerves. The gene mutations in CMT disease are usually inherited.

A mutation during replication can affect a protein that is synthesized in a variety of ways. Mutations can mess up the protein sequences and cause different proteins to be synthesized.
Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome. Unlike a gene mutation which alters a single gene or larger segment of DNA on a chromosome, chromosome mutations change and impact the entire chromosome.
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.

Point mutations are when a single nucleotide is replaced by a different one, but this doesn't affect the length of the DNA sequence, which usually will not affect the way the protein that is produced. A phase shift (what I think you meant) mutation is caused by an addition or deletion of a base that changes the length of the sequence. This causes problems because codons to make proteins are in sets of 3 and deleting a nucleotide makes the reading frame different and will add incorrect amino acids to the proteins from the mutation on, resulting in an ineffective protein.
Mutations can be a source of genetic
