What else can I help you with?
An agent that can cause a change in DNA is called a?
mutagen
Can a point mutation cause a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence?
Yes, a point mutation can cause a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence.
How can mutagens cause genetic mutations in spite of your body DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
How can mutations cause genetic mutations in spite of your body's DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
What would happen if the DNA was damaged?
it could change the entire dna structure, and cause deformations
How can a mutation in a DNA base sequence cause change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
How can a mutation in a DNA bases sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
In your own words write a definition for the word mutation?
mutation: a change in the sequence of DNA to cause a unusal trait
Can a change of as few as one DNA base can cause a genetic disorder?
True
Why is important that exact copies of DNA are produced during replication?
because if not.. it will cause DNA mutation... your features may change or worst.. it may cause cancer... because in theory.. cancer is caused by DNA mutations...
Is cancer part of DNA?
Cancer is not part of DNA. Change in DNA. may cause cancer . Some people may be born with faulty DNA which might cause the cells that read the faulty section of DNA to reproduce uncontrollably, but on the other hand, exposure to radiation or carcinogens may cause the DNA in a few specific cells to mutate and thus not be controllable by the rest of the cells in your body.
What permanent change in the sequence of DNA in a gene is a?
Basically change in the DNA sequence of a gene is associated with change in the nucleotide sequence which may result in Mutation and may cause loss of function of that particular mutated gene.
