What is the cause of a genetic disorder?
A mutation in the gene makeup of the organism.
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.
Can genetic mutation be sped up by ultra violet rays?
UV rays and other radiation can indeed cause mutation.
What might the Mutation of a genetic material cause?
Lots of things, the most common of which is cancer.
How can prophase I and metaphase I in meiosis cause genetic variation in offerspring?
by being cheesy Edited answer: During prophase I of meiosis pairing among homologous chrosomes takes place. This is followed by crossing over. The recessive and dominant genes get interchanged during chiasma formation and such interchanged genetic material get separated in to different cells during mtaphase I. Hence, prophase I and metaphase I cause genetic variations in the male and female gametes. On randum mating among these gametes, genetic variation in the offsring are caused.
What can a genetic mutation cause?
A genetic mutation can cause a variation, which may be harmless, or may be harmful, depending on where on the DNA molecule it occurs.
Which process is a cause of variation in a species?
Sexual Reproduction Genetic mutation
Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?
mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.
What genetic mutations can cause?
A genetic mutation can cause a variation, which may be harmless, or may be harmful, depending on where on the DNA molecule it occurs.
Change in genetic material of an organism from one genrartion to another?
Genetic variation refers to the differences in DNA sequences among individuals within a population. This variation can arise through mechanisms such as mutation, recombination, and gene flow, and it is essential for evolution as it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon.
What can radiation cause?
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
What is a major cause of variation within species?
Genetic variation, caused by mutations in DNA, is a major source of variation within species. Mutations can lead to differences in traits such as color, size, and behavior, allowing for natural selection to act upon these variations.
Does the independent assortment of genes during meiosis cause genetic variation?
Yes, the independent assortment of genes during meiosis does cause genetic variation.
What is the cause of a genetic disorder?
A mutation in the gene makeup of the organism.
What does two daughter cells with different DNA represent?
Two daughter cells with different DNA may represent a mutation or an error during cell division. This can lead to genetic variation and potentially cause abnormalities or changes in the characteristics of the cells.
What characteristic within populations cause natural selection to occur?
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
What two processes can lead to inherited variation in populations?
Two processes that can lead to inherited variation in populations are sexual reproduction, which involves the mixing of genetic material from two parents, and mutations, which are random changes in an organism's DNA that can be passed on to offspring.
