A mutation produces an abnormal gene, which may limit, not effect, or enhance the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce. A mutation does not have any set effects on the organism, as the mutated gene may not change the appearance of the organism. Mutations of normal cells in an organism can cause cancer, as cancer is just normal cells that have been damaged in such a way as to grow out of control.
What else can I help you with?
What is a mutation that affects the gametes of an organism?
A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
Which types of mutation affects more genes a gene mutation or a chromosomal?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
Who does somatic mutation affect?
A somatic mutation is one that occurs in any body cell with the exception of the gametes (sperm and eggs). A somatic mutation cannot be passed on to offspring, so it affects only the person with the mutation.
Is mutation dominate or recessive?
it depends on what mutation you speak of. some are and some are not.
Which sequence best represents the correct order of events involved for this mutation to affect the traits expressed by this cell?
Mutation occurs in the DNA of the cell. Mutation leads to changes in the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Altered protein function affects the traits expressed by the cell.
What is a mutation that affects the gametes of an organism?
A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
What is the mutation that only affects nucleotides called?
ashol
Which types of mutation affects more genes a gene mutation or a chromosomal?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
Who does somatic mutation affect?
A somatic mutation is one that occurs in any body cell with the exception of the gametes (sperm and eggs). A somatic mutation cannot be passed on to offspring, so it affects only the person with the mutation.
Is a chromosomal mutation where pieces of the chromosome are switched?
Nope, what you're thinking of is actually called an inversion mutation (a type of structural aberration); a chromosomal mutation is simply any sort of mutation that affects an organism's genotype.
What term describes a mutation that affects every amino acid that comes after that?
frameshift
What term describes a mutation that affects every amino acid that comes come after it?
frameshift
How can a mutation in a gene affects the traits that an organism has?
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
Is mutation dominate or recessive?
it depends on what mutation you speak of. some are and some are not.
