What most mutated genes are which cause human disorders?

A mutated gene is just a gene that doesn't have the correct DNA or alleles.. Depending of the human disorder the gene that is mutated will be different... We use genes throughout our bodies but ALL genes can cause human disorders but there is NO single gene that, when mutated, creates ALL genetic modification...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is dominant or recessive?

Osteogenesis imperfecta is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning one copy of the mutated gene is enough to cause the condition. However, in some cases, it can be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern if both parents are carriers of the mutated gene.


What is the new mRNA stand produced by this mutated gene?

The specific sequence of the new mRNA strand produced by a mutated gene will depend on the nature of the mutation. Mutations can cause changes in the coding region of the gene, leading to alterations in the mRNA sequence and potentially affecting the resulting protein or gene function. Further analysis and sequencing of the mutated gene would be required to determine the exact mRNA sequence.

Mutations are not able to cause things to evolve because?

Whoa. Mutations usually cause things to evolve, depending on the gene which is mutated. Mutations are changes in the genetic material of an organism resulting in changes in the gene pool (if the mutated traits are passed on). If the mutated gene is a desirable/advantageous one, then the chances that it willbe passed on to future generations is increased. In this process, which occurs over a period of time, old genes may be lost in the gene pool, resulting in evolution. I don't see how it doesn't cause evolution.


What genes are mutated to cause cancer?

An oncogene is a gene that may be able to cause cancer. These genes can cause cells to mutate, instead of simply dying, which they are supposed to do.


Why are most mutations in eukaryotes recessive?

Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that the mutated gene is only expressed when both copies of the gene are mutated, resulting in a recessive trait.


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.
