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.
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.
What is a harmful mutation?
a mutation is sometimes a form of adaptation, but if something changes in the DNA of the species and could possibly be harmful to it, that is a harmful mutation.Examples:-born without a part of the brain-cancer is a form of a harmful mutation-hypoglycemia
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.
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.
Which mutation in a fruit fly could be passed on to its offspring?
a mutation in a sperm cell changes the shape of the wing *remember* - only mutations in primary sex cells, sperm and egg, can be pass on to offspring.
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.
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.
What went worng to cause a cell not to copy?
There could be a mutation in the genetic code that controls cell reproduction.
What effect does a mutation have on DNA and proteins?
It will change the order of bases:) could cause diseases such as; Cystic Fibrosis
