Why do mutations in gene affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
What genes cause CMT4?
There are three different genes that have been associated with CMT4 as of early 2001. They are called MTMR2, EGR2, and NDRG1. More research is required to understand how mutations in these genes cause CMT.
Why aren't somatic mutations passed on to the next generation?
most genes mutations are recessive, and since most organisms have two of every genes, the normal genes will dominate the recessive genes.
How are mutations returned to normal in an organism?
Mutations on recessive genes return to normal in an organism
What type of mutation cause glaucoma?
Glaucoma is associated with mutations in several different genes: MYOC, ASB10, WDR36, NTF4, TBK1, OPA1 and OPTN. But most cases of glaucoma do not involve any genetic mutations.
Do mutations in genes affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
How does chemestry affect cancer?
Chemicals that do not cause cancer by themselves but can act with another chemical to cause cancer (cocarcinogens). Damage to DNA in cells can lead to cancer. ... Unrepaired DNA damage can lead to mutations, or changes, in genes, and mutations in certain genes can cause cancer. You can also inherit mutations.
What statement about cancer is true?

What causes Hypocardiomyopathy?
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is usually caused by abnormal genes (gene mutations) that cause the heart muscle to grow abnormally thick.
The variation in the forms of adult vertebrates probably arose through mutations in genes?
the variation in the forms of adult vertebrates probably arose through mutations in dominant genes
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations

Mutations in these genes lead to transformation in the identity of entire body parts?
homeotic genes
