They are mistakes in copying, they are negative(never benificial to the organism), are omission of information.... got it from my test :)
NO they are not always negative. They CAN be beneficial. Look it up. It's also in your Science book.

What kind of mutations will always be passed to offspring in the gametes or reproductive cells of organisms?
All characteristics were at some point mutations. Successful genetic mutations that are present in a parent in the homozygous form willl always be transmitted into the gametes. Whether the offspring will have the characteristic phenotypically hinges ont the genetics of both parents and which alleles are in the fertilized egg.
Changes in DNA are called mutations?
the answer is mutations.......................
Why aren't all mutations bad?
Mutations are unnatural changes in the body or behavior. They are not always bad. For instance, the skin of the poison tree frog is not really bad at all. It rubs itself on poison leaves and mutated itself not to be affected.
Genetic information is alterd when changes in the DNA sequence is called?
It is called mutations. I'm 100% sure.
When changes occur in the genes of sex cells these changes?
are called mutations. Mutations in sex cells can be passed onto offspring and may result in genetic disorders or variations in characteristics.
What was Mendel's particular interest in agriculture?
Genetics, mutations and inheritable characteristics.
Did Darwin believe that mutations are the main cause for evolution?
At the time that Darwin published his work the theory of genetic transfer of characteristics by Gregor Mendel had not been published. As a consequence genetic theory, mutations, recessive characteristics and allof those issues would be unknown.
Is it easy for breeders to produce mutants with desirable mutations?
With luck and perseverance, however, breeders can produce a few mutants-individuance with mutations-with desirable characteristics that are not found in the original population.
What characteristics does an abnormal genetic test have?
An abnormal chromosome analysis report will include the total number of chromosomes and will identify the abnormality found. Tests for gene mutations will report the mutations found.
What characteristics of a population would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population?
Asexual reproduction and few mutations
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
New heritable characteristics can result from?
mutations of genes in an organism's sex cells & new combinations of existing genes during sexual reproduction.
Which characteristics of a populations would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population?
A large population size, low mutation rate, absence of selection pressure, and high gene flow between populations would indicate lower potential for evolutionary change as these factors can limit the introduction of new genetic variation and the accumulation of evolutionary adaptations.
What kind of mutations will always be passed to offspring in the gametes or reproductive cells of organisms?
All characteristics were at some point mutations. Successful genetic mutations that are present in a parent in the homozygous form willl always be transmitted into the gametes. Whether the offspring will have the characteristic phenotypically hinges ont the genetics of both parents and which alleles are in the fertilized egg.
Changes in DNA are called mutations?
the answer is mutations.......................
What are Distinguishing characteristics of a white tiger?
Usually white with brown or dark grey stripes, blue eyes. They are only genetic mutations of the Bengal tiger.
Are all mutations bad.?
No not all mutations are bad there are good mutations and bad mutations
