Do mutations in genes affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
Genes that can move about on the chromosomes sometimes creating mutations?
Transposons
What statement about cancer is true?
Mutations in certain genes cause tumors. Gucci.
What is the significance of mutations to living things?
Many, if not most, mutations are neutral, meaning that they have little or no effect on the expression of genes or the function of the proteins for which they code.
An entire set of genes derived from one parent?
An entire set of genes derived from one parent
Why aren't somatic mutations passed on to the next generation?
most genes mutations are recessive, and since most organisms have two of every genes, the normal genes will dominate the recessive genes.
Do mutations in genes affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
How are mutations returned to normal in an organism?
Mutations on recessive genes return to normal in an organism
What is the original source of all the different alleles of a genes?
A mutation in a pre-existing gene. If the mutation effects the phenotype derived from the gene, it is determined to be a different allele. Mutations can be small (such as a single nucleotide polymorphism) or large (such as entire genome duplication).
The variation in the forms of adult vertebrates probably arose through mutations in genes?
the variation in the forms of adult vertebrates probably arose through mutations in dominant genes
Genes that can move about on the chromosomes sometimes creating mutations?
Transposons
How do animals adapt in their enviorment?
they adapt by mutations in their genes when they have newborns.
What do Multifactoral Disorders usually result from?
mutations in multiple genes
Which is more likely to develop adaptation to a changing ecosystem?
A population with few mutations will have more room in there genes to do mutations
Why do mutations in genes effect traits?
because genes are the structure for the organism and if u change the structure the outcome is changed
Do autosomes have lethal recessive genes?
Yes. Autosomes CAN have lethal recessive genes, but that does not mean they always contain recessive mutations.
Are mutations the only way to add new genes to a gene pool?
yes. independent assortment and crossing over in mitosis will add new combinations of alleles to the DNA but only mutations will create new genes.
