Why will intermingling affect human evolution?

Intermingling with what? Humans are all one species, though there are popilational variances. Perhaps if there was a mutation in one of those populations that was beneficial and could drive itself into the wider human gene pool, then maybe.


Is the white tigers fur mutation dominant or benificial?

Well, the white tigers fur mutation isn't dominant nor beneficial (depends). The allele for white fur in tigers is recessive and even then not many tigers are heterozygous (One dominant allele and one recessive allele for those who do not know) Now it can be beneficial depending where the tigers live, there used to be Siberian Tigers who lived in the snow so it would be beneficial there but white fur will decrease stealth ability in the jungles, therefore alleles can be beneficial or harmful depending on the allele and where the organism lives.


How can a mutation cause identical twins to look different?

Yes, in both cases.The mutation causes both of the identical twins to look different from the rest of the family.The mutation causes one of the identical twins to look different from the other twin. That is, the mutation happened shortly after the cells that gave rise to both twins divided.


What are sense and anti sense genetic mutations?

A sense mutation happens among the bases that code for actual amino acids: The sense. One variation here could be disastrous, or five could be a beneficial mutation. Sickle cell trait varies bu only one amino acid on the B protein of hemoglobin and can be life threatening in homozygous condition, or beneficial in heterozygous condition. Most mutations fall among the non-sense portions of the genome and are neutral. And now the Techno Fun Portion: the anti sense [non-sense] mutation is Stdby::


Which era happened directly before the one humans live in?

Does mutation depend on evolution?

The mutation theory is basically stating that mutation is one of the major factors that cause evolution. The mutation has to be a beneficial mutation, meaning that it has to help the survival of the organism that got the mutation. The mutation causes knew genes and diversity which can spread quickly throughout a population and eventually change the frequency of alleles (causes mutation) Remember the mutation has to be beneficial to the survival of the organism.


How can mutations be?

Mutations can be beneficial when they give an organism a characteristic that helps it thrive in its environment. A mutation that makes a prey animal faster or more easily camouflaged might be an example. Or a mutation that makes a predator stronger, or one that allows a plant to more easily withstand drought. They promote positive diversity within their species in a way that is beneficial to survival.

What are the animals that develop changes through mutation?

The only one most humans know about is the ligger so i will go with that honestly.


What is the name of the radiation that can increase mutation in humans?

There are a number of types of radiation that can cause mutation in humans.Gamma radiation is probably the one you were thinking of, but ultraviolet radiation can also cause mutation.Pretty much any kind of radiation that causes mutation will almost always cause cancer, as a result.

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called a?

Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation


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.
