The curious thing about any type of genetic mutation is that it can change anything in any place on the affected chromosome. Most genetic mutations have no affect on the phenotype. In some extreme cases though (i.e. LOTS of radiation) offspring are known to have extensive genetic mutation.

When was Human Mutation created?
Human Mutation was established in 1992 as a scientific journal focusing on research related to mutations in humans.
What can predict whether a mutation in a human skin cell can be passed to its offspring?
A mutation in a human skin cannot be passed on to an offspring, since it is only a somatic mutation which is acquired. The mutation that can be passed on to an offspring is called a germline mutation, which happens in the egg and sperm.
What is an example of a favorable mutation?
An example of a favorable mutation is the development of lactase persistence in some human populations, which allows individuals to digest lactose into adulthood. This mutation provides a selective advantage in societies where dairy consumption is common.
Is a beneficial mutation always considered beneficial in the context of evolution?
No, a beneficial mutation may not always be considered beneficial in the context of evolution because its effects can change over time or in different environments.
What mutation can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation?
A frameshift mutation, where an insertion or deletion of nucleotides causes a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code, can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation. This can have dramatic effects on the resulting protein's structure and function.
What kind of mutation is a tumor?
it is a mutation like PLX4032 it reverses the effects of a mutation found in certain tumors
When was Human Mutation created?
Human Mutation was established in 1992 as a scientific journal focusing on research related to mutations in humans.
What effects can mutation have a virus?
They create genetic variations.
What is the effects of mutation?
A mutation is a permenent in DNA sequence of a gene,mutation in a gene's DNA sequence can alterthe aminoacid sequence of the protein encodedby the gene.
What are some general effects of a mutation?
Some general effects of a mutation are changes in DNA/RNA sequences and plausibly alteration of the product of a gene or the prevention of a gene from functioning properly.
What is the difference between symptoms and effects?
effects are what happens when you have something symptoms are something that makes you think you have something
What is the most common mutation to genes?
p53 gene..approximately 50% of human cancers involve this mutation.
Will a mutation in a human skin cell pass on to the persons offspring?
If you are referring to a mutation in individual cells of the skin, then no.
What are the signs of a mutation?
Abnormal cell growth and foreign side effects.
What is pleiotropism?
it refers to gene or mutation that has multiple effects like polyphenotype
Can human mutation can occur spontaniously?

What are the short term effects of human papilloma virus?
The short-term effects of HPV are minor or negligible. Genital warts may occur, but most people infected have no short-term symptoms.
