How is a mutation harmful to a organism?
Not all mutations are harmful. A mutation the give the organism antibiotic resistance, for example, is quite helpful. A different mutation that causes a necessary protein to misfold may result in death. In general mutations that affect proteins that are necessary for life will result in the death of the organism. One such mutation is in the protein p53 which is necessary to prevent a cell from growing uncontrollable (cancer). A mutation in p53 could result in a cell with damaged DNA to reproduce - this is what we call cancer.
What is the result is cell division?
mutation
What is mutation results in death called?
Deviation causes death/mutation of cell, bro.
What is the result of abnormal cell division?
mutation
What is a certain genetic mutation in a cell and and result in uncontrolled cell division?
carcinogens
What could be a result from the presence of a mutation in an organisms sex cells?
You can have a baby with physical/mental deformities or death of the child.
A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a fully grown monkey what will most likely happen to the monkey?
This depends on what kind of mutation occurs. You don't say what the mutation/result of the mutation is, so who knows what will happen to the monkey
What will the mutation result in if a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide?
An inactive/other active protein as a polypeptide that is incomplete will not fold properly. You could get a deleterious mutation that destroys protein product, such as Huntington's disease, or a paint mutation that, in heterozygous condition, such as sickle cell trait, is beneficial.
When a mutation disturbs the cell cycle the result can be what?
yes some....
One disadvantage of a genetic mutation in a human cheek cell is that?
It may result in the production of a defective protein
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non- sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
