Some mutations produce new traits that can help an organism survive.
What else can I help you with?
In your own words write a definition for the word mutation?
mutation: a change in the sequence of DNA to cause a unusal trait
True or False A mutation is the part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait?
False. A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome, not the specific part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait.
What changes during a mutation?
Mutations can improve the trait, harm the trait, or neither.
How does mutation affect a trait?
Mutation can introduce changes in an organism's DNA sequence, potentially affecting the expression of a trait. Depending on the nature and location of the mutation, it can result in a variety of outcomes, from no observable change to a significant alteration in the trait. Mutations can be neutral, harmful, or beneficial in terms of their impact on traits.
How can a mutation a DNA base sequence cause a change in a trait?
Some mutations produce new traits that can help an organism survive.
How can a mutation in DNA base sequence cause a change in a trait?
Some mutations produce new traits that can help an organism survive.
What is one example of a mutation that causes an improved trait?
Blue eyes
What is a permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait?
A permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait is called a mutation. Mutations can lead to genetic diversity within a population and are the raw material for evolution.
Is a mutation part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait?
no. what you described is a gene. a mutation is a change in the DNA which can sometimes change a gene
What is a sudden change in an organism called?
An unexpected change in an organisms trait is a mutation.
A mutation occurs in a cell. Which sequence best represents the correct order of the events involved for this mutation to affect the traits expressed by this cell?
The correct sequence of events for a mutation to affect the traits expressed by a cell is as follows: first, the mutation changes the DNA sequence of a gene. Next, this altered DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). Then, the mRNA is translated into a protein. Finally, the change in the protein can lead to a modified phenotype or trait expressed by the cell.
If a gene is changed in a way that causes a new trait to appear?
A mutation is a change in genes or chromosomes that causes a new trait to be inherited. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes such as evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system.
