What is one example of a mutation that produces a harmful trait?
a harmful mutation is something maybe as a joined organ or or deep crevices on the side of your face. a beneficial mutation is one that does not affect your health such as a harmful change of eye color abnormal to most other poeple. having purple hands or spotted in two colors all over your body.
The deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides in a strand of DNA produces?
the deletion or addition results in a mutation
Why are point mutations harmless?
Not all are that harmless. Sickle cell disease is a point mutation. A missense mutation can be harmful, but substituting one purine base for another, or having the same type of amino acid, hydrophobic to hydrophobic for instance, made is not harmful.
A dog breeder can determine that the sudden appearance of hairlessness in one of the puppies is a mutation if the dog?
Is breed and trait is capable of being injerited
When one pair of bases is replaced in a gene it is called?
It is called a point mutation. Depending on where the bases are, as far as in the codon, some are not harmful.

What is one example of a mutation that causes an improved trait?
Blue eyes
What changes during a mutation?
Mutations can improve the trait, harm the trait, or neither.
Is the mutation for hemoglobin S harmful or beneficial?
Hemoglobin S. This the predominant hemoglobin in people with sickle cell disease. The alpha chain is normal. The disease-producing mutation exists in the beta chain, giving the molecule the structure, a2bS2. People who have one sickle mutant gene and one normal beta gene have sickle cell trait which is benign.
How can a dog breeder determine mutation by the hairlesseness?
Hairlessness in dogs is called genomia. It is a duplication mutation that appears in Chinese crested and Mexican Xoloitzcuintule breeds. The hairlessness trait is dominant, which means that it can express if the dog only has one parent with the trait.
Moving fragments of DNA from one organism and inserting then into another organism?
if the mutation occurs in the autosomes, the trait is not passed
The deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides in a strand of DNA produces?
the deletion or addition results in a mutation

How can a mutation be harmful in one environment and helpful in another?
Example: a mutation confers the ability to withstand warmer temperatures, while at the same time reducing the ability to withstand cold.
How is a mutation harmful to a organism?
Not all mutations are harmful. A mutation the give the organism antibiotic resistance, for example, is quite helpful. A different mutation that causes a necessary protein to misfold may result in death. In general mutations that affect proteins that are necessary for life will result in the death of the organism. One such mutation is in the protein p53 which is necessary to prevent a cell from growing uncontrollable (cancer). A mutation in p53 could result in a cell with damaged DNA to reproduce - this is what we call cancer.
What are the causes of mutation in animals?
A mutation occurs when there is a slight change in an organism's DNA. Mutations can be as small as one base, and it can be helpful, harmful, or have no effect. It can also be caused by an environmental agent or mistake. Hope this helps!
