How can mutation occurs in cells?

Mutations can be inherited. This means that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.Mutations can be acquired. This happens when environmental agents damage DNA, or when mistakes occur when a cell copies its DNA prior to cell division.


How can a mutation in a DNA bases sequence cause a change in a protein?

dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.

A change in the genetic material of a cell is called?

Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.


Why is important that exact copies of DNA are produced during replication?

because if not.. it will cause DNA mutation... your features may change or worst.. it may cause cancer... because in theory.. cancer is caused by DNA mutations...

Why wouldn't mutation in a lung cell be passed on to offspring?

A mutation is an alteration in the DNA of the cell. Because the mutation is not "part" of the original DNA of your body, it cannot be passed onto your offspring


What is one way that changes occur in a DNA Sequence?

Mutations (point mutations, inversions, translocations...) cause changes in DNA Simply stated, a mistake made while DNA copies causes changes in DNA.


What is the natural causes of mutations?

1.)Mutations can be inherited. This means if a parent has a mutation in his/her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to the child.2.)Mutations can be acquired. This happens when a mistake accurs when a cell copies its DNA.3.)Mutations can occur by a hidden gene. This happens when your ancestor(for example, "grandma") has the mutation and that mutation is passed on to every other girl(for example), then the girl will get the mutation.


What rays increases mutation rates?

UV rays. These cause thymine to form dimers in skin cell DNA.
