What are changes in the bases of DNA?
When a base pair is added or deleted in a DNA sequence it's called an insertion or a deletion, which causes a frameshift mutation.
What is it called when there's a change in the gene?
The change of genetic information within an organism is known as a genetic mutation. It may also be refereed to as a change in allele frequencies when populations are examined.
What is isogenic mutation?
An isogenic mutation is known as a mutation of an inbred strain, in which all microbes contain the same or highly similar genotypes.
What is the cutting of DNA by specific enzymes known as restriction endonucleases the cut piece from one organism is added to the DNA of another?
GE
An error in DNA duplication is known as?
a mutation
What is the carrier of a disease known as?
Asymptomatic carrier, a person or organism infected with an infectious disease agent, but displaying no symptomsGenetic carrier, a person or organism that has inherited a genetic trait or mutation, but displaying no symptoms

What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
Is mutation the same as successful reproduction?
A mutation is basically a change in genes. They may be good or bad. A good mutation is also known as an adaptation.

Is cystic fibrosis caused by a gene mutation or chromosomal mutation?
It is caused by a gene mutation in the single gene on chromosome 7 that produces a protein known as CFTR.
What is an incorrect copy is known as?
An incorrect copy of DNA is also known as a mutation.
How can a mutation lead to an adaptation?
A mutation is an evolution of the deceased ancestors which takes decades to form. Example: in the past, whales had legs and elephants never had trunks--million years later (present time), whales have fins and elephants have trunks. An adaptation is getting used to--like bacteria becoming resistance towards antibiotics and how we, humans, are suited with most of the environment around us. How can a mutation lead to an adaptation? Adaptation tends to be faster than mutation, but both help the organism to survive; natural selection. Since mutation is known to occur randomly; mutation can lead to adaptation by "choosing" an organism for the "survival of the fittest". Additionally, an adaptation is a mutation. When an mutation is occurring, genes are passed down from generation to generation. As more and more organisms are inheriting the mutation, they become a typical part of the species. The mutation has become an adaption.
Any change in the DNA message is known what?
