How does genetic variation and mutations relate to each other?
mutation brings about variation which is the basis of evolution and the two types of variation are heritable and non-heritable
Why are male mutation rates higher than female?
This is because mutations occur in x chromosomes. The male, who has "xy" sex chromosomes, will have the mutation if it is present in the x chromosome. Females, there is a smaller chance because there are two "xx" chromosomes, which reduces the chance that the mutation will be present.
The original source of genetic variation that serves as the raw material for natural selection is what?
Generally, mutation.
What are two types of evidence that suggest that evolution has occurred?
The two types are Dna, and fossils
Why is mutation important to spectation?
Without mutation there can be no evolution. Without evolution there can be no speciation.
List two types of gene mutations?
Two types of gene mutations are chromosomal and point mutation. Chromosomal mutation alters a cell's chromosomes, while point mutation replaces single-base pair nucleotides with other nucleotides found in RNA or DNA.
Name 2 major types of mutation?
i] spontaneous mutation ii] induced mutation iii] germinal mutation iv] somatic mutation v] chromosomal mutation vi] gene mutation are the some of the major types of mutation......
What are the major types of mutation event?
gene mutation, chromosomal abberations
What are the types of mutations that can occur?
nonsense mutation, missense mutation, frameshift muation, deletion or addition mutation
What are 3 types of mutation?
Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.
What are three types of chromosomal mutations?
Insertion, Deletion and Frameshift mutation. These are the 3 basic types of mutation, however, there are other types of mutations: substitution, translocation, duplication, inversion, transversion and transition.
What is the relationship between evolution and genetics?
mutation brings about variation which is the basis of evolution and the two types of variation are heritable and non-heritable
What gene or chromosome is mutated in the hemophilia disorder?
There are two types of hemophilia. Type A: A mutation in the factor VIII gene. Type B: A mutation in the IX gene.
What is one or two nucleotides that are changed in a certain mutation?
If you are looking for the term of this mutation, then the answer is point mutation.
Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
What is reciprocal mutation?
when there is a two way exchange of genetic portion between two non-homologus chromosomes, its called reciprocal mutation, its a type of translocation mutation
Which types of mutation affects more genes a gene mutation or a chromosomal?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
