genetic drift....
What else can I help you with?
A small genetic change such as a single mutation may result in what?
genetic drift....
What is a mutation that affects the gametes of an organism?
A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
What type of mutation occurred in the strand of DNA?
A point mutation occurred in the DNA strand. This is a change in a single nucleotide base, such as a substitution, insertion, or deletion.
How does a transversion mutation result in a purine being replaced by a pyrimidine or vice versa?
A transversion mutation is a type of genetic change where a purine (adenine or guanine) is replaced by a pyrimidine (cytosine or thymine) or vice versa. This mutation occurs when a single nucleotide base in the DNA sequence is substituted with a different type of base. This change can lead to alterations in the genetic code and potentially impact the function of the gene.
What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
What result when a misreading occurs in the copying of DNA?
A mutation, usually a point mutation (where a single 'letter' in the genetic code is changed).
Which mutation results in a single missing letter in the genetic code?
frameshift mutation: deletion
What happens in a substitution mutation and how does it impact the genetic code?
In a substitution mutation, a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence is replaced with a different nucleotide. This can change the amino acid that is coded for, potentially altering the protein that is produced. This can lead to changes in the genetic code, which may result in a different protein being produced or a non-functional protein.
What would a single change in the sequence of nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule most likely result in?
A mutation
What is the type of mutation that causes hemophilia?
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
What happens during a substitution mutation and how does it impact the genetic code?
During a substitution mutation, a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence is replaced with a different nucleotide. This can lead to a change in the amino acid that is coded for, potentially altering the protein that is produced. The impact on the genetic code depends on whether the substitution results in a silent mutation (no change in the amino acid) or a missense mutation (change in the amino acid), which can affect the function of the protein.
Define a genetic mutation and state the types of genetic mutations?
A genetic mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect an organism's traits. The types of genetic mutations include point mutations (substitution, insertion, deletion), frameshift mutations, and chromosomal mutations (deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation).
