What else can I help you with?
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless what occurs?
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless mutation or genetic recombination occurs, introducing variation among the offspring.
Can a point mutation result in a frameshift mutation?
Yes, a point mutation can result in a frameshift mutation if it occurs in a coding region of a gene and disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code.
What does a change in the DNA mean?
A change in DNA, also known as a mutation, refers to any alteration in the sequence of nucleotides within the DNA molecule. These changes can have various effects, ranging from no impact to causing genetic disorders or diseases. Mutations can arise spontaneously or be induced by external factors such as radiation or chemicals.
Who does somatic mutation affect?
A somatic mutation is one that occurs in any body cell with the exception of the gametes (sperm and eggs). A somatic mutation cannot be passed on to offspring, so it affects only the person with the mutation.
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a?
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a germ cell, such as an egg or sperm cell. Mutations in other types of cells, like skin cells, do not get passed on to offspring.
A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a fully grown monkey what will most likely happen to the monkey?
This depends on what kind of mutation occurs. You don't say what the mutation/result of the mutation is, so who knows what will happen to the monkey
A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a full-grown monkey. What will most likely happen to the monkey?
Answer this question… The monkey will not be strongly affected
A mutation occurs in a heart of a developing squirrel the mutation disrupts the formation of a certain protein what will most likely happen to the squirrel?
The squirrel will have a heart that does not function correctly.
When a child is born with a chromosomal mutation when did the mutation occurs?
during meiosis
What might happen if a mutation occurs in a person's DNA?
The person might end up getting cancer.
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee the mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye what best describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The offspring will have abnormal eyes--APEX
What things can happen to a protein when a mutation occurs?
proteins stop being produced due to lack of DNA function
How can a mutation ouccur?
mutation occurs throughchange in structural chromosomes.change in numerical chromosomes.gene mutation
what type of mutation occurs when a nucleotide is left out?
deletion mutation
Which of the following situations is most usual for a dominant allele that results in severe effects in the offspring?
The trait occurs by mutation.
What occurs when a mutation is caused by deletion?
Replication
A mutation occurs in a heart cell of a developing squirrel.The mutation disrupts the information of a certain protein. what will mostlikely happen to the squirrel?
The squirrel will have a heart that does not function correctly.
