mutation is the ability to change in a species mutation help s the species to get better equipped with the environment .It is nothing but evolution
for example mutation in the animals such monkeys paved the way for the humans to grow

How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
How can mutations affect protein synthesis in cells What is the result?
Mutations can be a source of genetic
How do genomes of species change?
By mutations in DNA.
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
Why are only neutral mutations useful for molecular clocks?
Only neutral mutations are useful for molecular clocks because they accumulate in the DNA of different species at the same rate, while other mutations do not.
Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?
Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.
What are the evolutionary values of mutations?
Mutations have allowed species to adapt the their environment.
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
Do neutral mutations affect biodiversity?
Type your answer here... no, neutral mutations do not affect biodiversity as they are a simple change which does not affect the organism in any way

How do genomes of species change?
By mutations in DNA.
Can mutations increase the variations in a species' traits?
Yes
True or false about gene mutations are Point mutations affect just one nucleotide?
yes
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
What Mutation does not affect the offsping?
somatic mutations
What is the importantce of mutations in producing genetic changes in a species?
nothing
