Well this is just an educated guess but i assume it would depend on a potentially infinite number of variables what genes are affected ? which chromosomes are affected? do they fall in to a specific chromosomal pattern or group what kind of mutagen is in use you get the picture but for example say the gene and chromosomal groupings responsible for skin pigmentation mutated as a result of a combination of low frequency delta wave radiation and high frequancy tri-phased static electricity. The result could very well be skin that glows in the dark. another example say you take the gene responsible for making the avioli in your lungs process oxygen and expose it to say magnesium tri acetate the result could very well be that the avioli could now only process magnesium tri-acitaate Gas

∙ 10y agoGene Mutation can be defined as a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. This can occur when environmental agents damage the DNA or when mistakes occur when a cell copies it's cells prior to cell division.

∙ 9y agoMutations in genes occur whenever DNA is being replicated from a cell's nucleus and it is replicated incorrectly. There are several types of mutations such as the replacement or deletion of a nitrogenous base. Most of the times, mutations in genes do not affect your body. These mutation are called "silent mutations". But sometimes, the body is affected.
This happens because the change in the nitrogenous bases causes the production of a different amino acid structure through the process of protein synthesis. In simpler words, genes, which are made up of DNA and nitrogenous bases, code for proteins, which are made up of amino acids. In the process of translation in protein synthesis, tRNA molecules bring an amino acid based on what the copied mRNA from the genes say. But, if a mutation occurs that affects a certain coding for an amino acid, the protein produced could be totally different.

When the repair mechanism for DNA fails the result is?
Failure of the DNA repair mechanism can result in cancer, mutation or a defective enzyme.
How does the exposure of radiation effect DNA?
The radiation can modify the molecules and atoms in DNA strands. Changing DNA changes the way the cell(s) reproduce and can result in a mutation that is inherited, a mutation that is cancerous, or the par of the DNA is inactive and will not result in a noticeable change.
The substitution of one base for another during DNA replication is an example of?
Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.
What happens if DNA is damaged?
you get all types of dieses like cancer and you can get your dna damaged by drinking too much soda
What can occur as a result of a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA?
The addition or deletion of a nucleotide can lead to a Frameshift mutation. The Frameshift mutation causes a "shift" in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA. This may lead to the change in the amino acid sequence at protein translation.
When a mistake happens in the process of copying DNA the result is called .?
When a mistake happens in the process of copying DNA, the result is called a Mutation.
When the repair mechanism for DNA fails the result is a?
D. Mutation

What kind of mutation will result from the mistake made during DNA replication in the nucleotide sequence?
a nonsense mutation
Where cystic fibrosis happens?
In the DNA: a mutation on chromosome 7
The mismatch of a DNA base pair during duplication can result in a?
mutation
How can mutation occurs in cells?
Mutations can be inherited. This means that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.Mutations can be acquired. This happens when environmental agents damage DNA, or when mistakes occur when a cell copies its DNA prior to cell division.
The substitution of one base for another during DNA replication is an example of?
Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.
What result when a misreading occurs in the copying of DNA?
A mutation, usually a point mutation (where a single 'letter' in the genetic code is changed).
When a section of the DNA of the genetic code is altered as a result of a toxin it is refeffered to as a?
Mutation.
The mismatch of a DNA base pair during duplication can result in a mutation?
true
