How can a mutation in a gene affect the trait that an organism has?
A mutation in a gene can alter the functioning of the protein it codes for, leading to changes in the trait expressed by the organism. This can result in new traits, loss of function, or altered function of the protein, impacting the organism's phenotype.
What type of mutation will affect the largest number of proteins produces by an organism?
Chromosomal mutation
A dog breeder can determine that the sudden appearance of hairlessness in one of the puppies is a mutation if the dog?
exhibits a new, unexpected trait not seen in either parent. The hairlessness trait is not present in the genetic makeup of the parents, suggesting it arose from a sudden genetic change. By observing this distinct trait only in one offspring, the breeder can confirm it as a mutation.
What is one example of a mutation that produces a harmful trait?
a harmful mutation is something maybe as a joined organ or or deep crevices on the side of your face. a beneficial mutation is one that does not affect your health such as a harmful change of eye color abnormal to most other poeple. having purple hands or spotted in two colors all over your body.
What an offspring that was given different genetic information for a trait from each parent?
hybrid
How a mutation may not affect an organisms traits?
A mutation does not affect an organism trait for a reason. It is neutral which depends on the environment.
Would a mutation be a dominate or a recessive trait?
A mutation can be either recessive or dominant depending on what trait it is.
Is deafness a mutation dominant trait?
yes
How can a mutation in a gene affect the trait that an organism has?
A mutation in a gene can alter the functioning of the protein it codes for, leading to changes in the trait expressed by the organism. This can result in new traits, loss of function, or altered function of the protein, impacting the organism's phenotype.
What is a permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait?
A permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait is called a mutation. Mutations can lead to genetic diversity within a population and are the raw material for evolution.
What do you call a change of the DNA in an organism that result in a new trait?
A heritable character or genetic character
How can a mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
How can a mutation in a gene lead new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
A mutation occurs in a cell. Which sequence best represents the correct order of the events involved for this mutation to affect the traits expressed by this cell?
The correct sequence of events for a mutation to affect the traits expressed by a cell is as follows: first, the mutation changes the DNA sequence of a gene. Next, this altered DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). Then, the mRNA is translated into a protein. Finally, the change in the protein can lead to a modified phenotype or trait expressed by the cell.
Is a mutation part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait?
no. what you described is a gene. a mutation is a change in the DNA which can sometimes change a gene
Which type of mutation is responsible for new variations of a trait?
matation in somatic
What is one example of a mutation that causes an improved trait?
Blue eyes
