What else can I help you with?
A mutation changes a gene in a cell in the stomach of an organism. This mutation could cause a change in -?
b: the organism, but not its offspring
What impact could a point mutation do?
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
A mutation changes a gene in a cell in the stomach of an organism This mutation could cause a change in?
This mutation could cause a change in the protein produced by the gene, potentially leading to altered cell function or structure in the stomach. It could also impact the organism's digestion process or increase the risk of developing certain diseases related to the stomach.
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.
Could a mutation in a cell in the liver of a human be passed on?
For a mutation to be passed onto the next generation it must be on sex chromosome. If mutation occurs in somatic cells of our body, it will not be passed on to the offspring(s). Mutation that changes one or few base pairs in the DNA is called point mutation.
What effect does a mutation have on DNA and proteins?
Mutations can alter the sequence of DNA, which can lead to changes in the structure and function of the proteins produced from that DNA. Depending on the type of mutation, it can result in a nonfunctional or altered protein, leading to various effects on the organism.
How a mutation begin from a sunflower seed to a sunflower plant?
The seed could be exposed to chemicals or radiation that could cause a mutation. Or the pollen from different types of sunflowers could pollinate different sunflower flowers. Sometimes a virus will mutate a flower.
What went worng to cause a cell not to copy?
There could be a mutation in the genetic code that controls cell reproduction.
What is directional mutation?
one which changes the characteristics of an organism so it moves in a direction. Like if stin colour mutated so it was darker the mutation was directional to make skin colour darker not lighter.
When geneticists refer to mutuation?
Mutation is simply when the DNA of an organism changes. There are wide variety of ways in which the DNA can mutate; a base could be missed out, added or even changes. Many mutations have little or no effect, but some can have truly profound effects and cause major disabilities or even death.
How mutation affect survival skills of an organism?
It depends on the mutation. Some mutations have no effect on survival, some mutations are lethal, and some mutations make an individual better adapted to its environment, so it will be more fit than those without the mutation, and therefore produce more offspring with the same mutation, which could change the allele frequency of a population.
How would an organism most likely be affected by a DNA mutation?
An organism could be affected by a DNA mutation in various ways, such as changes in physical characteristics, susceptibility to diseases, or altered metabolic processes. The specific effects depend on the location and nature of the mutation in the organism's DNA.
