It depends on if it is in the germ line or in a somatic Cell.
In the germ line a mutation can cause birth defects or lethal mutations.
In somatic Cells it can cause cancer.
The Genetic Mutation will have either of these effects: either beneficial or detrimental.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Describe how gene mutations affect protein production.?
gene mutations can affect protein production through various mutations as nonsense mutations are any genetic mutation that leads to the RNA sequence becoming a stop codon. missense mutations are mutations that changes an amino acid from one to another. Slient mutations are mutations that dont affect the protein at all.
How do mutations affect the life of an organism?
because in my text book they say they alter the DNA of the organisms. plus they do what they feel like. :) Hope this helped
The mutations that breeders induce in organisms are passed on to the organisms?
offspring
How can mutation affect protein synthesis in cell?
Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.
How do mutations impact protein synthesis?
Mutations can affect protein synthesis by changing the sequence of DNA, which can lead to errors in the production of proteins. This can result in altered or non-functional proteins being made, which can impact the overall functioning of cells and organisms.
Does gene mutation affect metabolism?
Yes, gene mutations can affect metabolism by altering the function of enzymes involved in metabolic pathways. This can result in metabolic disorders that impact the body's ability to process nutrients and produce energy efficiently.
Is 'mutations are beneficial to organisms' a true statement about mutations?
Not always. Mutations can have either beneficial, neutral, or harmful effects on organisms. Whether a mutation is beneficial or not depends on how it impacts the organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
What Mutation does not affect the offsping?
Somatic mutations are not passed on to offspring because they occur in non-reproductive cells. These mutations only affect the individual in which they occur, and are not transmitted to future generations.
What are the key differences between cis and trans mutations in genetic variations?
Cis mutations occur on the same strand of DNA, while trans mutations occur on different strands. Cis mutations affect nearby genes, while trans mutations can affect genes located far apart.
Although genetic mutations may occur spontaneously in organisms the incidence of such mutations may be increased by?
Radioactive substances in the environment
Can global warming cause mutation?
Global warming itself does not directly cause mutations in organisms. However, it can indirectly affect mutation rates by changing environmental conditions and increasing exposure to mutagenic agents like UV radiation or pollutants, which can lead to mutations in certain species.
