One use is in virology. A few AIDS medications work by mutating the virus into a strain that is hopefully less virulent.
There is also evolution. Mutations in offspring can add beneficial traits or detrimental ones. Beneficial ones get passed down, detrimental ones usually don't
What else can I help you with?
Is mutation to species harmful?
it can be, it depends on whether the mutation is useful
Which of these animals has a useful mutation?
An animal that has a fur color that matches the enviorment A+
What does a mutation help with?
mutation help increase our chance of survival. By giving an non-existing gene or trait to an individual of a species population. This special gene can either be passed on or extinct. The special gene will pass on if the gene have proven it is useful and will extinct if its not. Overall, mutation help all life survival in the ever-changing environment and challenge they face.
A mistake made during copying of genetic information is called a?

Mutation is any change in a gene or chromosome?
mutations
Why is a high mutation rate useful?
A high mutation rate can be useful because it promotes genetic diversity within a population, enabling rapid adaptation to changing environmental conditions. This increased variability can enhance the chances of survival in unpredictable or challenging environments, as some mutations may confer advantageous traits. Additionally, in the context of pathogens, a high mutation rate can facilitate evasion of host immune responses, allowing for more effective infection and spread. Overall, it serves as a mechanism for evolutionary innovation and resilience.
A change in a gene is called?
A mutation
What is random errors when DNA is copied called?
It's called a mutation.
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called a?
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation
What are mutation beneficial examples?
Bacteria and viruses gaining resistance to antibiotics and antivirals.
A mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called a(an)?
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
