A non-example of mutations would be a DNA sequence that remains unchanged over time and generations. Mutations refer to changes in the genetic material, such as substitutions, insertions, or deletions of nucleotides in the DNA sequence. Therefore, a non-example would be a stable, unaltered DNA sequence that does not exhibit any variation or mutation.

No not all mutations are bad there are good mutations and bad mutations


What types of external stimuli cause mutations?

While this question should be recategorized because external stimuli do not cause the mutations that result in hemophilia, there are many types of radiation that can cause gene mutations as well as chemical exposure. For example sun light is UV light radiation wich can cause mutations (for example the mutations that result in skin cancer).


What Mutation does not affect the offsping?

Somatic mutations are not passed on to offspring because they occur in non-reproductive cells. These mutations only affect the individual in which they occur, and are not transmitted to future generations.


What is an example of what a mutation can cause?

Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer


Are gamete cells mutations and somatic cells mutations inheritable?

Since only gamete cells actually participate in the creation of a new organism, it is only the mutations in gamete cells which are inheritable; mutations in somatic cells are not inheritable.

What is example of an analogy in mutations?

Mutations are like typos in a book. Just like typos can change the meaning of a sentence, mutations can alter the genetic code, potentially leading to changes in an organism's traits or functions.


How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?

Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.


Why are mutations more serious when they occure in a sex cell?

Mutations in sex cells are more serious because they are heritable and affect the next generation. Remember, though, that mutations in somatic cells can cause cancer and tumors but are non- heritable.


How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation is a non sex cell?

A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations, while a mutation in a non-sex cell generally only impacts the individual in which it occurs. Additionally, mutations in sex cells can lead to hereditary conditions, while mutations in non-sex cells are typically not passed on to offspring.

What are the impact of mutations and how mutations can have no impact?

Mutations are usually anomalies in the sequence of a particular strand of DNA. The change is the sequence can be of various kinds and their individual effects vary. Sometimes mutations occur but they are never expressed. In such cases, on the whole, the mutation has had no impact. Changes in a single nucleotide can change the reading frame for protein coding regions and can cause misreading of the genetic code. For example, nonsense mutations caused by the exchange of a nucleotide leading to a stop codon can cause truncation of a protein. On the other hand, we can have silent mutations which show no effect because the nucleotide that has been exchanged does not cause change in amino acid sequence. So this would be an example of a mutation which shows no effect.
