When a child is born with a chromosomal mutation when did the mutation occurs?
during meiosis
What error is made during the copying of DNA is called an?
Mutation
What term is defined as any change in the genetic code on DNA and usually occurs during replication.?
it is known as mutation
Mutation in DNA often occurs during replication. during which phase of the cell cycle do such mutations occur?
The semiconservative replication of DNA occurs in the S phase or interphase of cell cycle. Mutation too occurs during this phase, whereas growth takes place in G phase.
What occurs when a new organism formed from the same organism?
Occurs when a new organism is formed from the same organism
During the formation of gametes independent assortment occurs where?
During Metaphase I and II
How does the possible impact of a chromosomal mutation that occurs during meiosis differ from that of a similar event that occurs during mitosis of a body cell not involved in reproduction?
If the mutation occurs during meiosis, the mutation will be incorporated into a gamete. If that gamete is the one that eventually fuses with another gamete (i.e. if it's the sperm that fertilizes the egg), that mutation will be passed on to the offspring. As all the offspring's cells are the result of the first two gametes, all the organism's cells will have that mutation. Obviously this can have dire consequences for the offspring, if the mutation is harmful. If instead it occurs during mitosis, it won't get inherited by the offspring, so any harmful effects are limited to you. Basically it's like getting a wound, you may heal or not, but you won't pass that wound on to any offspring you may subsequently have.
What events occurs during telophase?
Formation of 4 haploid nuclei
What occurs during the cell in plant but not in animals?
formation of a cell plate
True or false a point mutation is the failure of a chromosome pair to separate during mitosis?
false, point mutation is the change in any single base within DNA at a given time.it occurs only once during a single mutation
