This is a true statement. If an enzyme that is involved in DNA replication is not there, then a mutation can occur.
A mistake made during copying of genetic information is called a
Translation: the process of protein elongation & termination of protein synthesis. During protein synthesis the small and large ribosomal subunits join to form a functional ribose, durong this phase many processes take place. The result of these processes is protein elongation (polypeptide chain).
A frameshift mutation
The offspring of the organism will have a mutation.
A frameshift mutation
DNA
The messenger RNA is converted into polypeptide sequences during the process of transcription.
A mistake made during copying of genetic information is called a
Yes.
During meiosis
during meiosis
during meiosis (i believe), its not transcription i know that much

A frameshift mutation
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
it's not as much the timing of the mutation. the genes of a human can be mutated during transcription of the DNA. if just one gene is thrown off, it can cause the whole chain to be affected. for instance, if an incorrect polypeptide is added to the chain where it shouldn't be added, every following gene will be off one spot. the mutations can happen during the DNA translation or when sex cells divide. that would be a mutation from the chromosomes; one missing chromosome that was not transferred correctly during cell division right from the beginning of when the sperm and egg meet can alter the whole offspring's function.
