Which mutation is the most dangerous?
There is no definite answer to this question many types of mutations can cause death and I'd say that's the most dangerous effect of a mutation. Large Scale mutations, like deletions or amplifications, usually cause the most damage because they effect whole chromosomes. Small Scale mutations are usually less dangerous because they only effect one gene. The worst small scale mutations are insertions and deletions because they change the reading frame. In my personal opinion, harmful mutations that occur in the tumor suppressor genes are the most dangerous because they are what prevent the mutations in cell from being duplicated and without them working a mutated cell can replicate uncontrollably.
Why is using a virus to change a cells DNA dangerous?
DNA change/ mutations can be dangerous
Why are mutations in bird flu dangerous for human beings?
Because it is.
Why are mutations in reproductive cells so dangerous?
Mutations in reproductive cells can be dangerous because they can be passed on to offspring, potentially leading to genetic disorders or abnormalities. These mutations have the potential to impact future generations and can result in a variety of health issues.
Why is fallout dangerous?
Fallout caused by nuclear bombs can cause radiation burns and genetic mutations.
What is the most dangerous radiation and how can it be harmful to living organisms?
The most dangerous radiation is ionizing radiation, which includes gamma rays, X-rays, and some types of ultraviolet radiation. Ionizing radiation can harm living organisms by damaging cells and DNA, leading to mutations, cancer, and other health problems.
Where do most mutations occur, and are they primarily random in nature?
Most mutations occur in the DNA of an organism, specifically in the genes. Mutations are primarily random in nature, meaning they can happen spontaneously and are not typically influenced by external factors.
Is the BRC1 or BRC2 mutation more dangerous?
Both BRC1 and BRC2 mutations increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, but BRC2 mutations are generally considered more dangerous due to a higher risk of developing these cancers. BRC2 mutations also tend to be associated with a more aggressive disease course.
What is the comparative and superlative to the word dangerous?
More dangerous Most dangerous
Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?
Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.
Do most mutations occur when DNA is being replicated?
yes
What kinds of traits are produced by most mutations?
hair color
