What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
How do mutations relate to traits?
Mutations cause certain traits.
What are the impact of mutations and how mutations can have no impact?
Mutations are usually anomalies in the sequence of a particular strand of DNA. The change is the sequence can be of various kinds and their individual effects vary. Sometimes mutations occur but they are never expressed. In such cases, on the whole, the mutation has had no impact. Changes in a single nucleotide can change the reading frame for protein coding regions and can cause misreading of the genetic code. For example, nonsense mutations caused by the exchange of a nucleotide leading to a stop codon can cause truncation of a protein. On the other hand, we can have silent mutations which show no effect because the nucleotide that has been exchanged does not cause change in amino acid sequence. So this would be an example of a mutation which shows no effect.
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
What is the definition of Environmental factor?
Environmental factors are factors that influence living organisms. This can be a plant, an animal, or a germ. Sunlight, food, water, or pollution are types of environmental factors. They may cause growth, mutations, or death of the organism.
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
What types of external stimuli cause mutations?
While this question should be recategorized because external stimuli do not cause the mutations that result in hemophilia, there are many types of radiation that can cause gene mutations as well as chemical exposure. For example sun light is UV light radiation wich can cause mutations (for example the mutations that result in skin cancer).
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations

What are some things that can cause those mutations that cause cancer?
Many herbicides and pesticides hit the nuclear material and cause mutations when used to protect crop plants. Apart from causing mutations these very chemicals are carcinogenic in nature and cause cancer.
How do mutations cause genetic disorder?
it cause every cell
What are cancer mutations?
Some mutations cause cells to lose control over cell division
Why dont all mutations cause cancer?
Mutations in the DNA can cause cancer, but it's not the only cause of cancer. Did you know you can get cancer if you are exposed to coals and tars too long?
What is something in the environment that may cause mutations?
you!
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
What are some of possible consequence of mutations?
DNA mutations can cause genetic disorders such as cancer, Diabetes, and Asthma.
