It cannot. Mutations have not yet been shown to add any information to cells. Unfortunately science has no explanation currently for how new information is added for evolution or in mutations. But scientists everywhere are working long hours in laboratories and offices to figure out this problem. Perhaps we may soon find an answer.

What is a beneficial mutation for a koala?

A beneficial mutation for a koala could be one that enhances its ability to digest eucalyptus leaves more efficiently. This adaptation would allow koalas to extract more nutrients from their primary food source, potentially improving their overall health and reproductive success. Additionally, such a mutation might help koalas better tolerate the toxins present in eucalyptus, enabling them to thrive in environments where food quality varies. Overall, this kind of mutation could contribute to the koala's survival in a changing habitat.


What impact could a point mutation do?

A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.

If mutation occurs in somatic cells could the change be passed on by the mutant to its offspring?

Not with natural reproduction. If you cloned the parent that had the somatic mutation, you could pass it on to the offspring if you used the nucleus from the cell that had the somatic mutation.


Whats a change in gene or chromosome?

A change in a gene could involve a mutation that alters the DNA sequence, affecting the function of the protein it codes for. A change in a chromosome could involve alterations in the structure, number, or distribution of genetic material, leading to genetic disorders or diseases.
