What are mutations?
Mutations are changes that occur in the DNA sequence of an organism. They can happen spontaneously or be caused by external factors such as radiation or chemicals. Mutations can have various effects on an organism, ranging from no apparent change to causing diseases or genetic disorders. They are a driving force for evolution and can lead to the development of new traits or variations within a population.
Why do variations occur?
Variation or traits are due to changes in the genes. The genes are found in the DNA and when they replicate, the process doesn't always work correctly. We have called these mutations. A few are positive for the species, some are negative (and are not passed on) and a few do not make any change at all.

What is the difference between genetic polymorphism and mutation?
A mutation is a genetic change that has occurred in an individual organism. (e.g. an A is changed to a G in a cell of an organism.) A polymorphism is the existence of multiple genetic varieties within a population. (e.g. At a particular place in the genome, some organisms within a population have A's and other organisms within the population have G's.) Note: 1. Mutations and polymorphisms can be advantageous, deleterious, or neutral. 2. All polymorphisms began their existence as mutations. A mutation always occurs in an individual, but can become a polymorphism if it is heritable (i.e. if the mutation affected the germ line) and if it succeeds in spreading through a significant proportion of the population.
What do error bars show within treatments?
Error bars show variations within treatments.
What are differences within a population?
These are the morphological and behavioral variations by individuals within a population of organisms. Check human variation is height and the different way humans behave in similar situations.
Does frame shift mutation affect hemophilia?
Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.

What is biodiverisity?
the range of organisms present in a particular ecological community or system. It can be measured by the numbers and types of different species, or the genetic variations within and between species.
What can't a karyotype show?
Mutations within a chromosome
Where does variation occur?
Variation or mutation occurs within the DNA. It is a natural result of the replication process, or the copying of one DNA strand to make new DNA during reproduction. If the new mutation ends up making some kind of variation that does not kill the organism, then the variation will be passed on to new generations. This is how new traits are formed. When the variation is actually more useful than a trait that the organism's parents had, that new variation will be passed along as a survival trait.
What is the degree of internal and external order in organisms?
There are things, situations, events etc. that occur within an organization that affect the way.
Changes in the order of the bases within DNA?
Are called mutations.

How does seasonal turnover in lakes affect oxygen level available to the aquatic organisms?
It affects the oxygen level because it is essential for the survival and growth of organisms ata ll levels within its ecosystem.
