Describe the genetic mutation thought to cause narcolepsy?
The narcolepsy gene allows cells in the hypothalamus to receive messages from other cells. As a result of the mutation, the cells cannot communicate properly, and abnormal sleeping patterns develop.
What would be least likely to happen as a result of a mutation in a person's skin cells?
The person's offspring will have mutated skin.
Does leukemia occur as a result of an excess or lack of white blood cells?
An excess of white blood cells can be an indicator of the presence of Leukemia.
How can mutation affect protein synthesis in cell?
Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.
Both cells and organisms share the characteristics of life how are cells and organisms different?
Cells are smaller than organisms.
What types of cells must be involved for a mutation to be passed on to the organisms offspring?
genes
As a result of sexual reproduction an organism can pass a gene mutation to its offspring if the mutation occurs in?
germ cells
Describe the genetic mutation thought to cause narcolepsy?

What do organisms get from light for their nutrition?
Cells of our body synthesize Vitamin D in the presence of sunlight.
Living organisms can best be distinguished from nonliving things by determining the presence or absence of?
Cells
How are mutations are inherited?
If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.
What would be least likely to happen as a result of a mutation in a person's skin cells?
The person's offspring will have mutated skin.
Is plantae prokaryote?
Plants are considered to be eukaryotic organisms. The main difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is the presence of membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells.
Does leukemia occur as a result of an excess or lack of white blood cells?
An excess of white blood cells can be an indicator of the presence of Leukemia.
How mutations can affect organisms?
It depends on if it is in the germ line or in a somatic Cell. In the germ line a mutation can cause birth defects or lethal mutations. In somatic Cells it can cause cancer. The Genetic Mutation will have either of these effects: either beneficial or detrimental.
How can mutation affect protein synthesis in cell?
Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.
What is the major source of new alleles in natural populations?
either new organisms entered the population from an external source, or there were mutations
