gene mutation has many profound and long lasting effects. for starter mutation can change course of evolution. it also can create many heridatory deseases. it can make some desease cousing organisms to become drug resistant. gene mutation can create new species.

∙ 14y agoA point mutation (one nucleotide misplaced) can have various effects. It can either have no response because the amino acid resulting from the mutation is the same as the normal one with no mutation, or it can have a devastating effects and change the entire shape of the proteins, or even cells. An example of this is the sickle cell anemia, where a point mutation caused the red blood cell to take irregular shape.

What is the result of mutation during of meiosis?
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
What is one beneficial mutation that has happened in humans?
strong bone
Are all mutation harmful?
Mutations that succeed [are beneficial] provide Evolution, so not at all.
What effect does a mutation have on DNA and proteins?
It will change the order of bases:) could cause diseases such as; Cystic Fibrosis
How does mutation affect variation in species?
mutation really doesnt effect a population a mutation can be bad or good mutations can protect you from diseases or it can do something harmful to you like give u a extra body part or make you more vulnerable to diseases
What is beneficial mutations?
Well, there is no specific type of mutation that is beneficial. They can be harmful, helpful, or have no effect at all.
What is the result of mutation during of meiosis?
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
What could be a good effect of a mutation?
More varity in a population
What mutation has the greatest effect?
The mutation that has the greatest effect is one that is not only beneficial but that is heavily selected for by the environment. Ideally dominant as it will effect the population more rapidly than a recessive trait. Only traits that are selected for or against in a population change the frequency of the occurance of the alleles in the population.
Can mutation beneficial?
Yes mutations are the basis of evolution as they provide variance in the phenotype that could have evolutionary advantages
Which of these best explains how mutation can be beneficial to an organism?
Which of what?
How does genetic mutation effect the process of evolution?
If a particular mutation occurs in nature and proves to be beneficial, it can change the entire species to begin to have the same mutation and thus the same good trait. A creature with a mutation that say, gives it a longer tail (and chicks dig a long tail) than he will mate and that mutation will allow his genes to pass on.
What is a neutral mutation?
A neutral mutation is a mutation that has no effect on the body. It is an alteration in the DNA sequence that is neither beneficial nor detrimental to an organism's ability to survive and procreate.
What are two types of mutation?
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
How may changes to genes that is mutation result in harmful beneficial or neutral effects to the organism?
Mutations are random changes so there is no way to predict what kind of effect they will have.
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.
What is one beneficial mutation that has happened in humans?
strong bone
