Why are most mutations in eukaryotes recessive?

Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that the mutated gene is only expressed when both copies of the gene are mutated, resulting in a recessive trait.


What is the new mRNA stand produced by this mutated gene?

The specific sequence of the new mRNA strand produced by a mutated gene will depend on the nature of the mutation. Mutations can cause changes in the coding region of the gene, leading to alterations in the mRNA sequence and potentially affecting the resulting protein or gene function. Further analysis and sequencing of the mutated gene would be required to determine the exact mRNA sequence.


How is hemochromatosis inherited?

Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means an individual has the possibility of developing iron overload only if he/she inherits abnormal genes from both parents. HOPE THAT HELPS :) I know because I'm doing a science project on it.


What type of cells carry mutated DNA?

Cells that carry mutated DNA can include cancer cells, germline cells, and somatic cells. Cancer cells typically have accumulated mutations that drive unchecked growth, while germline cells can pass mutations onto offspring. Somatic cells, found throughout the body, can also harbor mutations that may or may not lead to disease.


What is the most mutated country?

There is no single "most mutated" country. Mutation rates can vary in different populations due to factors such as genetic diversity, environmental exposures, and healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, mutations occur spontaneously and are not tied to a specific geographical location.
