What else can I help you with?
What is cancer caused by?
a mutaion of a cell
What is a name type for chromosomal mutaion and type for gene mutaion?
one name is: substituation. It is when you exchange one gene with another one. So, your final sequence changes.
What problems may occur if DNA isn't copied correctly?
mutaion
What is the type of mutation that causes deafness?
that would be a hereditary thing not a gene mutaion
Is diabetes a mutaion?
No, I would suggest that diabetes is more of a degradation of the pancreas where it either reduces or stops the natural insulin production. This is needed to convert and balance the energy around the body.
What to do if your son has breasts?
Its only because of some hormonal imbalance and may be due to gene mutaion or Syndorme. the best possible option is to see a docor and have them removed. some part of Adipost tissue is removed.
What is the welsh word for big?
'Mawr' is generally used for 'big.' As an adjective after 'yn' it mutates according to the rules of the Treiglad Meddal or soft mutaion to become 'yn fawr.'
Which is worse chromosome mutation or point mutation?
Chromosome mutations are generally considered more severe than point mutations because they involve changes in a larger portion of genetic material, potentially affecting multiple genes and leading to more significant impacts on an organism's phenotype. Point mutations, on the other hand, involve changes in a single nucleotide and may have smaller-scale effects.
When a substitution of a nucleotide results in the early additon of STOP codon to the amino acids chain what kind of mutaion is it.?
When a substitution of a nucleotide leads to the early addition of a STOP codon in the amino acid chain, it is called a nonsense mutation. This type of mutation results in a premature termination of protein synthesis, potentially leading to a truncated and often nonfunctional protein. Nonsense mutations can have significant effects on the organism, depending on the role of the affected protein.
What effect does mutations have on variation?
Mutations are a source of genetic variation as they introduce new alleles into a population. They can lead to differences in physical characteristics, behavior, or susceptibility to diseases within a species. Over time, mutations can contribute to evolution by providing the raw material for natural selection to act upon, ultimately driving changes in a population.
Mutations in introns are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in exons?
Mutations in introns are less likely to affect phenotype because introns are not translated into protein, unlike exons which contain coding regions for proteins. Introns are involved in regulation of gene expression through processes such as alternative splicing, but mutations within introns typically have a more subtle impact on gene expression compared to mutations in coding regions (exons).
What happened to the number of organism with mutaion and the number that had the original gene?
Depends. If the mutation was favorable and conveyed increased reproductive success ( simplified version of events ) then those genes would see greater representation in the population. ( baring bad luck ) The original gene would now come under increased selection as the beneficially mutated gene was enjoying greater reproductive success. Its frequency would go down in the population of progeny. The reverse would see a deleterious mutation gain no ground in populational representation. ( as said, this is a highly simplified version of events )
