What else can I help you with?
Are all mutations generic?
Yes. All mutations of the genetic material are genetic.
What are the genetic mutations of dinosaurs?
HA! there are no genetic mutations! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! no mutants
What genetic material are called mutations?
Sudden genetic change in the DNA of an organism called mutations.
Are genetic mutations always harmful to the individual?
Genetic mutations are not always harmful to the individual. A few may be beneficial.
What is a source of genetic variation that refers to a random error in the genetic code?
Mutations involve changes in the DNA code.
Which increases genetic variation?
Mutations
Define a genetic mutation and state the types of genetic mutations?
A genetic mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect an organism's traits. The types of genetic mutations include point mutations (substitution, insertion, deletion), frameshift mutations, and chromosomal mutations (deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation).
Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?
mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.
Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?
The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.
Do monkeys that don't grow exist in the wild or are they a result of genetic mutations in captivity?
Monkeys that do not grow exist in the wild as a result of genetic mutations.
Do mutations create genetic diversity in populations?
Yes, mutations can create genetic diversity in populations by introducing new variations in the DNA sequence.
What is the relationship between genetic variations and mutations?
Mutations are random changes in DNA; genetic recombinations are new arrangements of genetic material (as a result of sexual reproduction). Together, they are the "fuel" that powers the "evolution machine," the direction of which is determined by natural selection.
