What seems to determine the magnitude of a mutation's effect?
Control genes determine the magnitude of a mutation's effect. Mutations in these parts of the genome can substantially change the way the organism is built.
Mutations in mitochondrial genes often cause disorders that affect cells?
the mitochondrial mutations effect to those cells which have maternal inherritance character and the mutation is called poky mutation
What mutation causes a reshuffling of genes in existence?
Reshuffling of genesis caused by crossing over and not by mutation .
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
What are Stability Genes?
Stability genes are one of the three main genes, that when mutated are associated with cell progression towards tumorigenicity. It's normal function is to control the rate of mutation, but if mutated it off-balances, effecting oncogene and tumor suppressor function. In other words, accelerating the mutation process.
What seems to determine the magnitude of a mutation's effect?
Control genes determine the magnitude of a mutation's effect. Mutations in these parts of the genome can substantially change the way the organism is built.
Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
Is the source of brand new genes in a population called mutation?
Yes, brand new genes can only come from mutation.
Sometimes genes are damaged or are copied incorrectly resulting in faulty?
A 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
How does different genes happen?
New genes appear in individuals by random mutation.
What is a non polar mutation?
a mutation in a gene that does not affect the downstream genes in an operon. ie. a polar mutation is one that DOES affect the transcription or translation of genes in the same operon downstream of your gene of interest.
How does genetic mutation effect the process of evolution?
If a particular mutation occurs in nature and proves to be beneficial, it can change the entire species to begin to have the same mutation and thus the same good trait. A creature with a mutation that say, gives it a longer tail (and chicks dig a long tail) than he will mate and that mutation will allow his genes to pass on.
Mutations in mitochondrial genes often cause disorders that affect cells?
the mitochondrial mutations effect to those cells which have maternal inherritance character and the mutation is called poky mutation
What mutation causes a reshuffling of genes in existence?
Reshuffling of genesis caused by crossing over and not by mutation .
Why are the white tigers white?
It is a mutation of genetic genes.
How may changes to genes that is mutation result in harmful beneficial or neutral effects to the organism?
Mutations are random changes so there is no way to predict what kind of effect they will have.
