Albinism, where the animal (or person) has no melanin (color) in their skin or hair, so they sunburn easily and are prone to skin cancer. The irises of their eyes are pink, so their eyes are sun-sensitive. Animals with no coloring of their skin can not hide from predators, so they don't live long in the wild. I don't think albinism is technically a lethal mutation. I think an example of lethal mutation is the overo gene in horses. Two copies of it produce a foal that dies shortly after birth due to problems with its digestive system. Any mutation that causes termination of pregnancy is a lethal mutation.
What else can I help you with?
What is lethal mutation?
When lethal genes are present in the organism's chromosomes, the organism is unable to survive. Semi Lethal genes are harmful to the organism but does not cause Death. E.g Huntington Chorea in human
What is an example of a good mutation in genetics?
One example of a beneficial mutation in genetics is the mutation that causes sickle cell anemia. This mutation provides some protection against malaria, making individuals with this mutation less susceptible to the disease.
How mutation affect survival skills of an organism?
It depends on the mutation. Some mutations have no effect on survival, some mutations are lethal, and some mutations make an individual better adapted to its environment, so it will be more fit than those without the mutation, and therefore produce more offspring with the same mutation, which could change the allele frequency of a population.
What is one example of a substitution mutation?
One common example of a substitution mutation is a point mutation where one nucleotide base is replaced by another. This can lead to changes in the amino acid sequence of a protein during translation. An example would be a mutation where a Cytosine (C) is substituted for a Thymine (T) in the DNA sequence.
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.
What is an example of a lethal dominant mutation?
Huntington's disease is an example of a lethal dominant mutation. It is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a dominant mutation in the HTT gene, leading to progressive loss of motor and cognitive functions, eventually resulting in death.
What is a mutation that causes the death of an organism?
Lethal Mutation.
A mutation that results in the death of the organism is a?
lethal mutation
What is the result of mutation during of meiosis?
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
What is mutation results in death called?
Deviation causes death/mutation of cell, bro.
A mutation that results in the death of the individual is called?
A lethal mutation. It can cause severe defects or disruption in essential biological processes that are necessary for survival, leading to the death of the individual.
What impact could a point mutation do?
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
What is lethal mutation?
When lethal genes are present in the organism's chromosomes, the organism is unable to survive. Semi Lethal genes are harmful to the organism but does not cause Death. E.g Huntington Chorea in human
Does exposure to cat scans cause lethal cell mutation?
It's possible because they are x-rays.
What is an example of a good mutation in genetics?
One example of a beneficial mutation in genetics is the mutation that causes sickle cell anemia. This mutation provides some protection against malaria, making individuals with this mutation less susceptible to the disease.
What is an example of a good or bad mutation?
A good mutation example is lactase persistence, where individuals can digest lactose into adulthood. A bad mutation example is cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that causes severe respiratory and digestive problems.
What is an example of a mutation?
cancer or a tumor
