All the cells in a body have a specific function and purpose and have all developed themselves to be the best they can for that purpose (for example, muscle cells will need to move a lot and so they need a lot of ATP (energy) from the mitochondria whereas a cell somewhere else might need less mitochondria and more ribosomes to make proteins for growth). If there is a mutation in one of these cells it means that the cells function is no longer specific to what it was before, as the mutated cell replicates there are more and more copies of the mutated cells all serving a different function to the original one which makes them different to the organism with the original cells. (Thats just the changing of cells in one organism that could then be passed onto an organism of the same species - bt would still be differen).
If the DNA mutates it will change the way all the bases on the DNA fit together - because DNA is what makes something what it is, a mutation here will cause the organism to change. This organism will then breed more and the genes will be passed by meiosis onto the daughter cells of the organism.

What advantages and disadvantages of mutation to environment?
Advantages of mutations in the environment can lead to genetic diversity, potentially leading to adaptations that help organisms survive changes in the environment. However, mutations can also result in harmful traits or decrease genetic fitness, which may make it more challenging for organisms to adapt to their environment. Additionally, mutations can have unforeseen consequences that can disrupt ecosystems.
Explain the chemical basis for why there can be so many diffrent types of organisms in the world?
The diversity of organisms in the world is due to variations in DNA sequences, which encode for different proteins and traits. These genetic variations arise from mutations, genetic recombination, and natural selection. As organisms evolve and adapt to different environments, new species with unique characteristics can emerge, leading to the wide array of life forms we observe on Earth.
What is a collection of different organisms living in an ecosystem?
A collection of different organisms is an ecosystem and the collection of all of Earth's ecosystems is a biosphere.Also, actively interbreeding organisms in a particular area is called a population and populations make up communities.
What does several populations of organisms in an area make up what?
Several populations of organisms in an area make up a community. A community refers to all the different species living in a specific area and interacting with each other.
What type of mutations do not effect phenotype?
Synonymous mutations. These are mutations that happen in the coding regions of genes that change one nucleotide for another. However, because of redundancy in the genetic code (where one amino acid may be coded for by more than one nucleotide sequence) the amino acid sequence of the protein isn't altered. Mutations that occur in non-coding, non-control regions of the genome also don't affect phenotype. You may also wish to look at Wikipedia's entry on silent mutations.
De Vries believed the process of evolution was driven by what?
Mutations. He was the father of saltation. The big jump idea that organisms could make large morphological changes by beneficial mutations all at once.
How can mutation affect protein synthesis in cell?
Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.

Make up different phyla?
the different domains and kingdoms specify the phylums of different organisms

Does nuclear waste really make things mutated?
Nuclear waste itself does not directly cause mutations, but the radiation emitted from it can damage DNA in living organisms. This genetic damage can lead to mutations, which may result in cancer or other health issues over time. However, the extent of such effects depends on the level of exposure and various biological factors. Overall, while radiation can contribute to mutations, it doesn't guarantee that all organisms exposed will experience such changes.
What is a another word for an organism that does not make its own food they eat other organisms?
Heterotrophic
How do you make another account on our Facebook?
make another with a different name, but you will have to have another email to go with the new account.
What was another idea that was presented in Charles Darwin's book?
Male organisms often possess special features that make them more attractive to female organisms.

What make the planet earth a different planet?
It is one of a few that are able to support living organisms.
How are point mutations different from flame shift mutations?
Point mutations are when a single nucleotide is replaced by a different one, but this doesn't affect the length of the DNA sequence, which usually will not affect the way the protein that is produced. A phase shift (what I think you meant) mutation is caused by an addition or deletion of a base that changes the length of the sequence. This causes problems because codons to make proteins are in sets of 3 and deleting a nucleotide makes the reading frame different and will add incorrect amino acids to the proteins from the mutation on, resulting in an ineffective protein.
