What else can I help you with?
Is the source of brand new genes in a population called mutation?
Yes, brand new genes can only come from mutation.
What is the type of mutation that causes color blindness?
Color blindness is primarily caused by mutations in the genes responsible for producing photopigments in the cones of the retina, particularly the genes for red and green photopigments located on the X chromosome. The most common type of mutation is a point mutation, which can lead to the absence or alteration of these photopigments, affecting the ability to perceive certain colors. Since these genes are located on the X chromosome, color blindness is more prevalent in males, who have only one X chromosome.
How does different genes happen?
New genes appear in individuals by random mutation.
Which types of mutation affects more genes a gene mutation or a chromosomal?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
Why are the white tigers white?
It is a mutation of genetic genes.
Is mutation the same as successful reproduction?
A mutation is basically a change in genes. They may be good or bad. A good mutation is also known as an adaptation.
Which molecular events result in an irreversible change in genes?
Mutation
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
Is cystic fibrosis a genetic disorder?
Polygenic means influenced by multiple genes. Cystic fibrosis is a single gene disorder, in which a mutation occurs in one gene that specifies cystic fibrosis, in this case CFTR gene. There are thousands of possible mutations in this gene but the most common mutation is the deletion of one codon.
Sometimes genes are damaged or are copied incorrectly resulting in faulty?
When genes are damaged or copied incorrectly, it can lead to mutations. Mutations can affect how proteins are made in the body, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to diseases or disorders. Genes can be damaged by environmental factors like UV radiation or through errors during cell division.
What type of mutation causes autism?
The mutation that causes Autism is a rare genetic mutation. There are three different genes that are linked to the cause of different disorders on the Autism Spectrum.
A mutation in a series of genes called can change the organs that develop in specific parts of an embryo?
LAC gene
