Changing a DNA can effect you from a varying level. It can go from turning your eyes to a different color to having a sixth finger.
DNA tells us who we are, and our EVERY character traits. If one trait is changed into a different one, it can be a simple, harmless change or a chain reaction that can be fatal. Huntington's disease is a hereditary disorder (meaning you get it from your parent(s)) that damages the brain. If a normal person's Huntington's disease gene is activated (which is impossible, because you can ONLY get it from your parents), they will die.

∙ 13y agoNo, the DNA is fragile and will get destroyed easy. it also must enter your cell to change you. if that does happen then that one cell will undergo apoptosis and kill itself to to reproduce altered DNA
Eating DNA will not alter your DNA, In fact, we eat it all the time! Every time you eat vegetables or beef or pork, you eat DNA. The DNA you eat is inside of the cells of the food. When you eat food, the cells get broken down by digestive enzymes like pepsin or trypsin and whatnot. Then the DNA (and RNA) is broken down by several nucleaces. These then travel in your bloodstream where they will be used as your own DNA nucleotides and whatnot.

∙ 12y agoYes - these are known as mutations. They can be caused by environmental factors such as nuclear radiation, or mistakes made when DNA is replicated.

∙ 12y agoDNA carries genes which effects a person's traits. If DNA changes, the genes will change which then changes to different traits.

What would happen to a protein if the gene was changed DNA?
Change the DNA code & you change the protein.
How many times does DNA replicate in mitosis?
DNA replication occurs once during mitosis. Replication also occurs once during meiosis even though there are 2 divisions that happen.
What does a change in the DNA mean?
mutation. mutation happens when an error occurs. usually after the error occurs, the cell will most likely die
What describes how damaged DNA can lead to mutation?
An error occurs when the damaged DNA is repaired.an error occurs when the damaged DNA is repaired
What happens if DNA is damaged?
you get all types of dieses like cancer and you can get your dna damaged by drinking too much soda
What occurs in a cell causing a change in the DNA?
A mutation.
What would happen to a protein if the gene was changed DNA?
Change the DNA code & you change the protein.
What happens when there is a letter change in DNA?
what happen when dna letters are changed
How many times does DNA replicate in mitosis?
DNA replication occurs once during mitosis. Replication also occurs once during meiosis even though there are 2 divisions that happen.
What would happen if the DNA was damaged?
it could change the entire dna structure, and cause deformations
A sudden change in the DNA of a chromosome can usually be passed on to future generations if the change occurs in a?
That would be the sex cell.
Does dynamic equilibrium always happen when a change occurs?
No, this is not necessarily.
What might happen if a mutation occurs in a person's DNA?
The person might end up getting cancer.
What does a change in the DNA mean?
mutation. mutation happens when an error occurs. usually after the error occurs, the cell will most likely die
What can happen if repair enzymes do not find the repair mistake in the DNA?
there can be a harmful change and there can be no change at all
What causes a feature in living things to change so that this change is passed to their offspring?
The change must happen in the gametes of the organism. More specifically the change must occurs in the DNA that is used to make up their offspring. The main cause of this change in creatures that re-produce sexually is the process of crossing over.
What things can happen to a protein when a mutation occurs?
proteins stop being produced due to lack of DNA function
