If we didn't have junk DNA any mutation would cause damage to essential sequences of DNA and likely kill the host. It would be to dangerous to be in the sun because uv radiation cause mutations. However most of the mutation occur in the non essentioal junk DNA thus protecting essential DNA.
What else can I help you with?
Is DNA junk or not junk?
AnswerThere is junk DNA or non-coding DNA. This DNA is the segment before the promoter of a different gene.
What is DNA coding?
junk DNA
What percent of the DNA is junk?
You are 98% junk.
What would happen if we weren't able to sequence DNA?
you would not have your DNA checked your stupid
What would happen if human DNA was mixed with gorilla DNA?
There will be no human
What is the difference between coding DNA and junk DNA?
Coding DNA refers to the portion of DNA that contains instructions for making proteins, while junk DNA, also known as non-coding DNA, does not encode proteins. Junk DNA plays roles in regulating gene expression, chromosome structure, and other cellular functions, although its exact functions are still being explored.
Why can't they call the extra pieces of DNA that we didn't need or use junk DNA?
They are called non-coding DNA. It was called "junk DNA" at one time by people doing research on DNA because they didn't think these DNA codes had any use. Now they know that they have uses and so have stopped using that name "junk DNA".
Why are introns considered junk DNA?
because everyone is differentWHO WOULD ASK SOMETHING SOO STUPID
What would happen if the DNA was damaged?
it could change the entire dna structure, and cause deformations
Why is the outdated term junk DNA a misnomer for noncoding regions of the human genome?
The conservation of "junk DNA" sequences in diverse genomes suggests that they have important functions.
How can junk DNA be related to human evolution?
"Junk" DNA isn't just junk. It also contains inactive genetic code. For example, we still have genetic code for a prehensile tail in our DNA. Rarely, this becomes activated in humans today which results in a vestigial tail.In the junk DNA we find all sorts of interesting correlations between species that gives a greater depth of knowledge about where we came from.
What would happen if a mistake was made in the DNA message?
cancer
