What are some environmental factors that might result in point mutations?
nuclear exposure. >.<
Is pku a point shirt or a frameshift mutation?
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a point mutation, specifically an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the PAH gene. This mutation leads to impaired metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is not a frameshift mutation, which would involve an insertion or deletion of nucleotides, shifting the reading frame of the gene.
Does cancer result from genetic mutations-?
Mutating Cells can be a source of Cancer, but not necessarily. All mutating cells do not cause Cancer.
What kind of mutation will result from the mistake made during DNA replication in the nucleotide sequence above?
The specific type of mutation resulting from a mistake during DNA replication will depend on the nature of the mistake and the type of nucleotide substitution that occurred. Some possible types of mutations include point mutations (such as a substitution, insertion, or deletion of a single nucleotide), frameshift mutations, or silent mutations.
Can mutations be beneficial?
They can certainly be either. When researching it closely scientists have found a lot of mutations which don't seem to have any influence. "Bad" mutations tends not to be functional, and often disappear pretty much by themselves one way or another.

Are some disabilities worse than others?
yes. but they are all not good.
Why is it that some point mutations can cause severe genetic diseases while others have no noticeable effects?
There are three main types of point mutations: nonsense, missense, and silent. Nonsense mutations code for a stop instead of the intended amino acid, which cuts short the protein and can cause problems. Missense mutations code for a different amino acid than the one intended and can cause problems. Silent mutations, on the other hand, can, while they make a change in a specific base, still code for the same amino acid. Also, they could code for a different amino acid but cause no change in the overall function of the protein. In this case, there would be no noticeable effects due to the mutation.
What greek god is cruel?
Since the Greek gods were personifications of natural phenomena and based on human nature, all of them had the capacity to be cruel. Some were worse than others, but all of them, at some point, did something we would consider cruel.
Why are some mutation not harmful?
Some mutations can be deadly, harmful, or have no effect. Correct, not all mutations are harmful. Some mutations could even have a positive effect and help the creature adapt.

Why are there many molecular clocks in a genome instead of just one?
This occurs because some genes accumulate mutations faster than others.
Why do some injection sites hurt worse than others?
depends on the concnetration of nerves at the site.
Why do you write 0 before the decimal point?
That is a convention. In some countries it is customary to include the zero before the decimal point, in others it isn't.That is a convention.
