Mad Max, the first movie of the Mad Max franchise, is a 1979 Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller and written by Miller and Byron Kennedy. The film, starring the then-little-known Mel Gibson, was released internationally in 1980. Its narrative based around the traditional western genre, Mad Max tells a story of breakdown of society, murder and vengeance. It became a top-grossing Australian film and has been credited for further opening up the global market to Australian New Wave films. The movie was also notable for being the first Australian film to be shot with a widescreen anamorphic lens.

It has had a lasting influence on apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction ever since. The film spawned two sequels Mad Max 2 in 1981 and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. A feature film sequel and video game tie-in are currently in pre-production.

like in sickle-cell anemia, when the bases coding for hemoglobin are mutated, and so the protein becomes hydrophobic, so it tends to clump together. If all of your red blood cells are sickle shaped, it's almost certain to fatal and results in death.

One example of a harmful mutation is an animal's different coloring than others in its species. If a deer was albino, it would have a much harder time blending in, escaping predators and most likely have trouble finding a mate.

When cabbages mutated into cauliflowers, they would have died if people thought they tasted nice (can't imagine why).

The thing is, cauliflowers have flowers that don't open properly. As a result, they would've died out centuries ago as insects can't pollinate them. As mutations go, that one is pretty bad.

Examples of harmful mutations would be Huntington's, Sickle Cell Anemia, and Cystic Fibrosis. Examples of beneficial mutations would be the black moths in London and antibiotic resistance of bacteria.

An example would be if there's a type of animal that it's food source is high up, so it would need a longer neck. Lets say that the whole population has long necks. a harmful mutation would be an animal of the same species being born with a shorter neck disabling it to eat.

Is there any mutation in human being?

Although a healthy human being is devoid of any harmful mutations, these can occur in humans. In cancer for example, cells develop mutations that allow them to grow in abnormal numbers, resulting in the formation of a tumor. To summarize, the human genome is capable of undergoing mutations in certain circumstances such as during diseases. However, the incidence of a harmful mutation in a healthy individual is quite uncommon


Why Mutations can be considered one of the raw materials of evolution because they?

are usually harmful


What are the various kinds of mutations?

Mutations differ and change according to many factors: 1- Site of occurrence: -Genetic mutations -Chromosomal mutations 2- The inheritance: -Somatic mutations -Gamete mutations 3- The origin: -Spontaneous (natural) mutations -Induced mutations 4- The harmful OR useful effects: -Undesirable mutations -Desirable mutations


Can mutations be beneficial or harmful?

This not only depends on what changes the mutations have bought about but also who the mutations have happened to, human, bacteria, elephant. They can be bad, such as the koala mutation, their DNA has been mutated by an AIDs like virus, each generation is at risk of death at early age. Or there could be good mutations such as fishes growing legs millions of years ago so they could walk, although that would be classified as evolution. A2: Most mutations are lethal. It is something like a bunch of monkeys with typewriters--every so often a Shakespearian sonnet will be written...a helpful mutation would be about that rare.


What are examples of harmless mutations?

A neutral mutation has no benefit to the organism. It is neither helpful or harmful. One of the best examples are ear lobes or even ear shapes in general. Some people have attached ear lobes, some do not. Another is finger length. Most humans have similar finger lengths but there is a variation in these. One doesn't seem to give a benefit to the owner or harm that same owner.

Is mutation always harmful for human body?

No. Although there is a chance of a beneficial mutation, the chance of it occurring is almost astronomical. Most mutations are harmful to humans.


Why are some mutation not harmful?

Some mutations can be deadly, harmful, or have no effect. Correct, not all mutations are harmful. Some mutations could even have a positive effect and help the creature adapt.

Are genetic mutations always harmful to the individual?

Genetic mutations are not always harmful to the individual. A few may be beneficial.


What kind of mutations do you think would be harmful to an organism?

The majority of mutations that organisms get are harmful or neutral. Cancer is an example of a harmful mutation. So are certain genetic diseases and deformities, like an extra set of limbs.


Why are most mutations harmful?

Changes to DNA (mutation) are not necessarily harmful. Species are essentially a conglomeration of mutations which result a vast array of beneficial characteristics. Detrimental mutations generally result in death during early pregnancy, others may predispose an individual to death by cancer or disease at an early age and still others have a dramatic effect on the life of the affected individuals. Breeds of domestic animals are great examples of how many mutations there are within a species that are not specifically harmful. (There are over 500 breeds of dog for example.)


Are all mutation harmful?

Mutations that succeed [are beneficial] provide Evolution, so not at all.


Do all mutations affect the protein results?

No. Point mutations may have no effect on the protein, however, they can also be very harmful.

The examples of the ways of controlling or preventing harmful effects of human activities to the environment are: Disease Control Program Proper Hygiene Proper Disposal Planting Trees Pollution Control Recycling


How do gene mutations happen?

mutation are caused by radiation and are 99.9% harmful


Can mutations be beneficial?

They can certainly be either. When researching it closely scientists have found a lot of mutations which don't seem to have any influence. "Bad" mutations tends not to be functional, and often disappear pretty much by themselves one way or another.


How can mutations be detrimental to an organism?

They are not always harmful. in fact, often they are not. There are many different mutations, but genetic mutations can occur and be harmful to humans. it is important to understand that Genes are not there to cause diseases or be harmful. if a gene is transcribed incorrectly or copied incorrectly, this can result in a single letter of DNA ommitted in a chain. This is harmful because the different parts of the body that transcribe DNA or RNA will not be able to transcribe it as it was intended to be transcribed.
