What might be an effect of a mutation in a virus?
Most of the time, a mutation in a virus results in better ability to infect a host cell and more resistance to the host cell's defenses.
What kind of mutation is a tumor?
it is a mutation like PLX4032 it reverses the effects of a mutation found in certain tumors
Why must pharmaceutical companies develop flu vaccines every year?
Influenza is an RNA virus. Being that it is an RNA virus it has a high rate of mutation that goes unchecked. This high rate of mutation leads to different strains of the influenza virus
What is the effects of mutation?
A mutation is a permenent in DNA sequence of a gene,mutation in a gene's DNA sequence can alterthe aminoacid sequence of the protein encodedby the gene.
What are some general effects of a mutation?
Some general effects of a mutation are changes in DNA/RNA sequences and plausibly alteration of the product of a gene or the prevention of a gene from functioning properly.
What is sequential mutation?
It's a double mutation that occurs on a colony of cells (bacteria for example) that claims to have resistance to two different antibiotics or viruses. This double mutation, however, strictly happens by first developing a mutation for the first antibiotic/virus and then has an independent mutation (nothing to do with the first mutation) for the other or second antibiotic/virus.
What are the signs of a mutation?
Abnormal cell growth and foreign side effects.
What is pleiotropism?
it refers to gene or mutation that has multiple effects like polyphenotype
Which of the following situations is most usual for a dominant allele that results in severe effects in the offspring?
The trait occurs by mutation.
Are there long term effects of the shinkles virus?
if you mean shingles virus the answer is yes
Can mutation allow a virus to cross into a new species?
Rather more easily than mutations in your genome! A virus which may have only a few hundred genes can have large changes in function from just one mutation and can be then accounted a new "species " as progeny inherit the mutation. ( as much as one counts viruses as species )
What are the effects of intenonal virus settings?
the effect is jail time to the person that set the virus
