How are chromosomal mutations different than DNA mutations?
a gene mutation can be acquired throughout life or it is genetic ex sickle cell anemia chromsome mutations have more pronounced effects and are due to a change in the number of chromosomes or a change in the structural effect that are inherited.. ex downs syndrom
Whats a change in gene or chromosome?
A change in a gene could involve a mutation that alters the DNA sequence, affecting the function of the protein it codes for. A change in a chromosome could involve alterations in the structure, number, or distribution of genetic material, leading to genetic disorders or diseases.
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.
A mutation changes a gene in a cell in the stomach of an organism This mutation could cause a change in?
This mutation could cause a change in the protein produced by the gene, potentially leading to altered cell function or structure in the stomach. It could also impact the organism's digestion process or increase the risk of developing certain diseases related to the stomach.
Explain why a mutation in a sperm or egg cell has different consequences that one in a heart cell?
A mutation in a sperm or egg cell means that the mutation while most likely be passed down to the offspring of that organism. If the mutation is in anything but a gamete, it will not be passed down.
What could be described as a chromosomal mutation?
Chromosomal mutation can have lasting impacts on the person who this happens to. A version of a chromosomal mutation is the mutation that leads to Down's Syndrome.
Which mutation could be passed on to generation?
a chromosomal alternation during gamete formation
Which mutation could bee future generation?
Yes or No - a chromosomal alteration during gamete formation.
What could be a result from the presence of a mutation in an organisms sex cells?
You can have a baby with physical/mental deformities or death of the child.
When a child is born with a chromosomol mutation when did the mutation occur?
A chromosomal mutation can occur either during the formation of the egg or sperm, or after fertilization when the zygote is forming. This means the mutation could have occurred in the parent's gametes, or during cell division in the early stages of embryo development.
Which of the following genotypes could be described as heterozygous?
(Apex Learning) Bb.
Is chromosomal mutation dominant or recessive?
Chromosomal mutations can be either dominant or recessive, depending on the specific mutation and how it affects the expression of genes on the altered chromosome. Some chromosomal mutations can lead to a dominant phenotype if they result in the duplication or gain of genetic material, while others can lead to a recessive phenotype if they result in the loss or deletion of genetic material.
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 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.
If mutation occurs in somatic cells could the change be passed on by the mutant to its offspring?
Not with natural reproduction. If you cloned the parent that had the somatic mutation, you could pass it on to the offspring if you used the nucleus from the cell that had the somatic mutation.

What could an archaeopteryx be described?
It could be described as the first bird.
