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).
What are some of possible consequence of mutations?
DNA mutations can cause genetic disorders such as cancer, Diabetes, and Asthma.
Are all mutations generic?
Yes. All mutations of the genetic material are genetic.
What can mutations be a source of?
Mutations create changes in the genetic code. There are different types of mutations and vary in degree of harm or even benefit to the organism. If the mutation happens to be beneficial to the organism, then it can be passed down to its offspring and thus this leads to genetic variation in the population.
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.
Does a slow loris have a tail?
Some do. Like, genetic mutations er something.
What is the ultimatesource of genetic variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
Mutations, combined with the fact that some of those mutations actually survive.
When do potential effects of a genetic mutation become evident?
There is a wide range of genetic mutations that can occur. Some of those don't force a difference in the organism and eventually is never noticed. Other types can be noticed by the expression of a mutant protein
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.
Are all mutations bad Explain your answer?
Not all mutations are bad. Some mutations can be neutral, having no effect on an organism. And in some cases, mutations can be beneficial, providing an advantage in certain environments or circumstances. However, harmful mutations can also occur, leading to genetic disorders or other negative effects.
