What genetic term describes a change to chromosomes structure caused by radiation chemicals pollutants or during replication?
a) mutation b) allele c) gene d) replicator
What causes CMP?
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is caused by a genetic mutation in the bone marrow cells, leading to uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. This mutation is often associated with a gene called BCR-ABL, which produces a protein that promotes cell proliferation. The exact cause of this mutation is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Which statement best describes a dominate allele?
okay well the dominant form of an allele, is YO MOM she is the answer to all your problems and yea te va pegar con la mexican chancla
Condition of being heterozygous for a recessive trait?
If you are heterozygous this means you carry both a dominant and recessive allele. if you are heterozygous for a recessive trait then you will have a dominant and recessive allele. example: let T represent tall and t represent short. a person with heterozygous for a recessive trait will have 'Tt'.
How many amino acids are affected from point mutation?
A point mutation can affect the protein in a different ways. If the point change causes a silent mutation then it doesnt affect at all. When the point nucleotide change make a different amino acid, then it may alters the function of protein. If it make to forma a stop codon (TAA, TAG, TGA) then the protein synthesis stops at the point where it is changed.
What is BRCA2 6174 del T?
brca2 is a gene associated with breast and other types of cancer. 6174 del t is the identification of a particular mutation of the brca2 gene. The 6174 del t mutation occurs with a relative high frequency in ashkenazic Jewish populations and is associated with familial pancreatic cancer, among other cancers.
What is change in an allele is called?
it is called mutation i believe
What is an allele that can have a harmful effect?
An allele that can have a harmful effect is known as a pathogenic allele. These alleles can lead to genetic disorders or increase susceptibility to diseases, often resulting in negative health outcomes. For example, the BRCA1 and BRCA2 alleles, when mutated, are associated with a higher risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Such harmful alleles can be inherited from one or both parents and can significantly impact an individual's health and well-being.
Is homologous recombination a type of mutation?
No. A mutation can change an allele into any other allele. Homologous recombination can only change an allele to the allele of the homologous chromosome.
When a mutation first occurs a different allele is formed what best describes the frequency of this allele?
When a mutation first occurs, the frequency of the new allele is very low in the population. Over time, if the allele confers a selective advantage, it may increase in frequency through natural selection.
What is allele specific associated primer?
An allele-specific associated primer (ASAP) is a primer designed to specifically amplify a particular allele of a gene while discriminating against other alleles. It is commonly used in techniques such as allele-specific PCR to selectively amplify and detect a specific variant or mutation. ASAPs can be designed based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or other genetic variations to target a specific allele of interest.
What involves placing a normal allele in a cell that has mutation and hoping that the normal allele begins to function?
Gene therapy

What is a permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait?
A permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait is called a mutation. Mutations can lead to genetic diversity within a population and are the raw material for evolution.
A random alteration in the sequence of DNA nucleotides that provides a new variant allele is called a?
gene mutation
When does a mutation have the mutation impact on allele frequency?
When the population is small or When there is no gene flow Small population, germ line mutation, beneficial mutation that gets into many progeny and a good deal of luck.
