Mutations that occur at random are called?
Mutations that occur at random are called spontaneous mutations.
What are the various kinds of mutations?
Mutations differ and change according to many factors: 1- Site of occurrence: -Genetic mutations -Chromosomal mutations 2- The inheritance: -Somatic mutations -Gamete mutations 3- The origin: -Spontaneous (natural) mutations -Induced mutations 4- The harmful OR useful effects: -Undesirable mutations -Desirable mutations
What is a random change in DNA called?
It is called Mutation . It is a spontaneous change in a chromosome or DNA .
What is a mutation and what causes mutations?
Any sudden change in the genetic material is known as MUTATION.Mutation may occure at GENE LEVEL or CHROMOSOMAL LEVEL.TYPES:Missence mutation.Nonsence mutation.Sielent mutation.Frame shift mutation.
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
What is spontaneous mutations?
in the nucleus
Mutations that occur at random are called?
Mutations that occur at random are called spontaneous mutations.
What is the difference between induced fission and spontaneous fission?
Spontaneous Fission is the process of Elements and Induced Fission is the process of firing neutrons at heavy Atoms
What May be induced by mutagens?

What is the difference between a spontaneous ovulator and an induced ovulator?
Spontaneous ovulator is like animals that ovulate out of nowhere. Induced ovulator is when animals ovulate because of/after mating like Llamas and cats.
When do spontaneous abortions usually occur?
Spontaneous abortion is another word for miscarriage aka not induced and the risk is bigger in the first trimester.
What is the medical term meaning spontaneous or induced termination of pregnancy?
Abortion is the medical term meaning sponaneous or induced termination of pregnancy. What is commonly known as a miscarriage is called a spontaneous abortion in medical terminology. An induced abortion is commonly called an abortion in lay language.
What is the significance of Einstein's A and B coefficients?
Einstein introduces A and B coefficients to describe spontaneous emission and induced absorption and emission.
Common mutagenic agents include?
In genetics, a mutagen (Latin, literally origin of change) is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations cause cancer, mutagens are therefore also likely to be carcinogens. Not all mutations are caused by mutagens: so-called "spontaneous mutations" occur due to spontaneous hydrolysis, errors in DNA replication, repair and recombination. This is from wiki hope it helps
How do individuals acquire mutations?
Mutations are caused by radiation, viruses,transposons and mutagenic chemicals, as well as errors that occur during meiosis or DNA replication. They can also be induced by the organism itself, by cellular processes such as hypermutation.
