A mutation changes a gene in a cell in the stomach of an organism. This mutation could cause a change in -?
b: the organism, but not its offspring
What mutation cause changes in the number of chromosome?
Aneuploidy mutation causes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy occurs during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly resulting in a change in the number of chromosomes.
What are the three things that mutation can cause?
A change in the DNA can cause three types of changes: a beneficial change (organism does better than others), a deadly change (kills the organism) or a neutral change (not better/not deadly).
What is physicial or chemical agents known as that can cause mutagen?

What effect does a mutation have on DNA and proteins?
It will change the order of bases:) could cause diseases such as; Cystic Fibrosis

How can a mutation in a base sequence cause a change in a protein?

Does mutation depend on evolution?
The mutation theory is basically stating that mutation is one of the major factors that cause evolution. The mutation has to be a beneficial mutation, meaning that it has to help the survival of the organism that got the mutation. The mutation causes knew genes and diversity which can spread quickly throughout a population and eventually change the frequency of alleles (causes mutation) Remember the mutation has to be beneficial to the survival of the organism.
How can a mutation in a DNA bases sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
How can a mutation in a DNA base sequence cause change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
