Can mutations add information in organisms?
mutations in dna can be advantageous and lead to charecteristics that help a person survive or increase it chances of survival.
Are mutations the only way to add new genes to a gene pool?
yes. independent assortment and crossing over in mitosis will add new combinations of alleles to the DNA but only mutations will create new genes.
What evolutionary forces could create new genetic information in a population?
Mutations
Genetic information is alterd when changes in the DNA sequence is called?
It is called mutations. I'm 100% sure.
What process changes adds or removes information from the genome?
Mutations
Can genetic mutations add information to DNA or do they just decrease information in the code to make necessary adaptations to the environment?
Mutations can add, change, or decrease the amount of information in DNA (assuming that information is measured as the number of base pairs). Natural selection then acts upon these mutations and increases the propensity of the ones that are beneficial. As such, excessive losses of information are guarded against. New genes are created when a preexisting gene is copied and then mutated. If the new gene is helpful, the increase in information will be selected for and propagated.

How could a mutation make it so a person can not digest starch?
It cannot. Mutations have not yet been shown to add any information to cells. Unfortunately science has no explanation currently for how new information is added for evolution or in mutations. But scientists everywhere are working long hours in laboratories and offices to figure out this problem. Perhaps we may soon find an answer.

What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation

Mutations
Why is mutations good?
It produces new varieties .
Are gamete cells mutations and somatic cells mutations inheritable?
Since only gamete cells actually participate in the creation of a new organism, it is only the mutations in gamete cells which are inheritable; mutations in somatic cells are not inheritable.
What is the major source of new alleles in natural populations?
either new organisms entered the population from an external source, or there were mutations
Why all mutation are not necessarily harmful?
Mutations are changes in DNA. Most are neutral or beneficial. Mutations have allowed animals to adapt to new environments and new species to evolve.
