Why would the dark colored mutation be beneficial in a polluted area?
I don't know anything bro haha
What are mutation beneficial examples?
Bacteria and viruses gaining resistance to antibiotics and antivirals.
Is a mutation dangerous?
Can be, but most mutations are neutral. If you had a gene that coded for a hydrophobic amino acid and it was point mutated to another gene that coded for another hydrophobic amino acid then there would be no change in the protein fold and no danger. Statistically this the the majority of mutation cases.
Is polluted an adjective?
No, it is not an adjective. Pollutant is a noun. Polluted would be an adjective.
Is the white tigers fur mutation dominant or benificial?
Well, the white tigers fur mutation isn't dominant nor beneficial (depends). The allele for white fur in tigers is recessive and even then not many tigers are heterozygous (One dominant allele and one recessive allele for those who do not know) Now it can be beneficial depending where the tigers live, there used to be Siberian Tigers who lived in the snow so it would be beneficial there but white fur will decrease stealth ability in the jungles, therefore alleles can be beneficial or harmful depending on the allele and where the organism lives.
How do you turn polluted water into a polluted gas?
you would evaourate the water until it is no longer there!!! then you have polluted the air with gas!!!
Why are eukaryotes not immune from genetic mutations during cell reproduction?
This is a good question with a rather complicated answer. The reason for mutation is that everything is down to probabilities. Every time a base is being added there is a chance that the wrong base could be added. This process produces changes in the genetic code. However this doesn't always lead to a propper mutation. The cell has many different ways of detecting mismatches or bulky adducts etc. and many ways of fixing these changes. Even when a mutation manages to avoid these systems there is a good chance that the mutation will be a synonomous mutation ie. there is no change in the amino acid in the protein or binding of a miRNA. However the sheer number of the mutations means that damaging mutations still get past. You might think that since mutations are so bad in humans that mutation is bad in general, and most of the time you'd be right. However think of a primitive proto-cell. These would not have worked efficiently in any way, so damaging mutations would likely have been less detrimental to survival. More than that the sheer number of them would mean that even in a new cell had a lethal mutation enough of them would survive. However their mutation rate would prove an advantage in that many of the mutations would be beneficial to the species. Mutations are actually beneficial in many ways. The HLA loci in humans actually mutates ar a very high rate and that is beneficial. So as to why we are not immune to mutation; mutation is essential for the survival of a species. Without mutation there would be no natural selection and once a species came up against an environment inimical to it, it would die. With mutation some of the organisms will usually have mutations making them better adapted to the environment, and they will survive. Most of their descendents will have the trait and those that don't will usually not survive and the trait will eventually become fixed in the population.
Which mutation would not change the remainder of the reading frame of a gene sequence that follows the mutation?
The answer is easy.
Does people want Hong Kong to be polluted?
Some people may want hong kong to be polluted But the other people would no want hong kong to be polluted.
What is a mutation and explain when a mutation is beneficial?
A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. This can be beneficial if the change gives a new function to or improves the function of that gene. The above is a definition. But one must really define "beneficial". Some regard it as beneficial if it helps the specific individual who has it. Others would think it beneficial if it produced some survival advantage that insured more descendents for that individual. It is the difference between a mutation that allowed for greater athletic ability, but a decreased desire for offspring, versus a more moderate athletic enhancement, but a greater desire for offspring. The small percentage of ways to improve an organism, versus the near infinite ways of harming the organism, mean that most mutations are not going to be beneficial. At best, they will be "inconsequential" - such as a new shade of eye color, or a mole on a section of your skin. The populist notion of "powers" that can come from mutations is wildly inaccurate. Even assuming a minor power like the ability to see infra red radiation would take thousands upon thousands of mutations over vast amounts of time. A mutation for blindness is far more likely. It should also be noted that the traditional model of evolutionary theory no longer applies to man. We don't allow changes in our environment, and without such changes, there is no need for one trait more than another to predominate. After all, it is irrelevent that a mutation might allow for greater speed in running, when everyone drives a car.
What are 3 types of mutation?
Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.
What might happen if the order of the base pairs of the DNA molecule were changed?
you get a mutation which could be good/bad/ or neutral, depends on the location
