Which term means a new trait that results from a change in genetic formation?
mutation
What are the two types of gene shuffling?
Gene shuffling means the genetic recombination and mutations of a gene pool of a species where genetic recombination is the mixture of parent alleles that are passed on and the mutations are the random changes in an organisms DNA that are passed on.
What is a thread like structures containing the genetic material?
A chromosome is the threadlike nuclear structure that contains genetic information .
What does interpretation of results mean?
it just means explain the results you got
What changes can't be reversed by physical means?
Chemical Changes
Which term means a new trait that results from a change in genetic formation?
mutation
Which term means a new trait that results from a change in genetic form?
That'd be a mutation.
What is genetic profiling?
genetic profiling means a systematic profile which stores total genetic information of an organism including gene squence
When sex cells are formed how much genetic information is passed on the new cells?
Gametes, or sex cells, undergo a cell division process known as meiosis. The results of meiosis are four haploid cells. Haploid means that these cells carry half of the original genetic information, or half of the original number of chromosomes.
Where is genetic information found prokaryotic cells?
Genetic information is found in a prokaryote as DNA but not bound by a membrane. That is what the term prokaryote means. The term actually means "before the nut". The nut in this case is the nucleus.
What are the changes of allele frequency in a small population that is due to random chance and don't follow the laws of probability?
Random changes in allele frequency are due to genetic drift.
The transmission of genetic information from parents to offspring is called?
The transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring is called genetics or genetic transmission. Such genetic information includes height, eye and hair color.
What dose varies mean?
may very means that their are different results how you do the thing.
What is introduced by mutagens?
The word itself means a mutation generator. They produce changes in the genetic code. The changes can be bad enough that the code is nonsense (cancer).
Once DNA evolved why would it have become the primary means of transmitting genetic information?
DNA is more stable than RNA and that is why it evolved as a long term storage of genetic information
What does it mean if standard deviation was more than its mean?
It means the results (the information given) are spread out meaning the space in-between the results is quite big
What is the difference between crossover and mutation in genetic algorithm?
mutation means change in genetic structure..where as crossover means interchanging the genetic structure of two or more chromosomes..
