Well this is just an educated guess but i assume it would depend on a potentially infinite number of variables what genes are affected ? which chromosomes are affected? do they fall in to a specific chromosomal pattern or group what kind of mutagen is in use you get the picture but for example say the gene and chromosomal groupings responsible for skin pigmentation mutated as a result of a combination of low frequency delta wave radiation and high frequancy tri-phased static electricity. The result could very well be skin that glows in the dark. another example say you take the gene responsible for making the avioli in your lungs process oxygen and expose it to say magnesium tri acetate the result could very well be that the avioli could now only process magnesium tri-acitaate Gas
No, a DNA mutation does not always result in a change to the protein. Some mutations are silent and do not affect the protein's function.
Any change in the sequence of DNA nucleotides is called mutation.
Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.
Frameshift mutation
A mutation that can be inherited by offspring would result from a change in the DNA sequence of a germ cell (sperm or egg) in the parent. This mutation would be present in the offspring's DNA and can be passed down to future generations.
When a mistake happens in the process of copying DNA, the result is called a Mutation.
No, a DNA mutation does not always result in a change to the protein. Some mutations are silent and do not affect the protein's function.
D. Mutation
This substitution would result in a mismatched base pair, with guanine pairing with thymine instead of cytosine. During DNA replication, this can lead to a mutation in the DNA sequence if not corrected by the DNA repair mechanisms. The mutation can potentially affect the functioning of the gene where it occurs.
In the DNA: a mutation on chromosome 7
a nonsense mutation
Any change in the sequence of DNA nucleotides is called mutation.
Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.
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.
A mutation, usually a point mutation (where a single 'letter' in the genetic code is changed).
