A genetic disorder can result from a mutation by changing a gene's instructions for making a protein. If there is a mutation in one of these genes, this can be passed on from parent to offspring.

What is the difference between a genetic disorder and a genetic mutation?

A genetic disorder is something an individual is born with, and results from a problem within their genetic material. This means they have inherited the disease or disorder from their Mother or Father. You cannot inherit an infectious disease, you acquire it during your lifetime from a germ, such as a virus or a bacterium. You can also recover from an infectious disease, whereas you will always suffer from a genetic disorder if you inherit one.


A change in the genetic material that produces variation in a species may be the result of?

immigration, mutation and sexual reproduction.


Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome in the body cells of humans this extra chromosome occurs in the gamete as a result of?

an error in meiotic cell division


How can a small change in a persons DNA cause a genetic disorder?

Some genes encode products that regulate the translation of other genes, or the activity of other proteins, so one small change will affect a lot of other genes/proteins. If that change affects something critical it might lead to a genetic disorder.


Is chromosome analysis considered genetic testing?

Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. More than 77,000 genetic tests are currently in use, and others are being developed. Genetic testing involves looking for changes in: Genes : Gene tests study DNA sequences to identify variations (mutations) in genes that can cause or increase the risk of a genetic disorder. Gene tests can be narrow or large in scope, analyzing an individual DNA building block (nucleotide), one or more genes, or all of a person’s DNA (which is known as their genome). Chromosomes : Chromosomal genetic tests analyze whole chromosomes or long lengths of DNA to see if there are large genetic changes, such as an extra copy of a chromosome, that cause a genetic condition. Proteins : Biochemical genetic tests study the amount or activity level of proteins or enzymes; abnormalities in either can indicate changes to the DNA that result in a genetic disorder.

What is the difference between genetic a disorder and a genetic mutation?

Mutation is any change in the genetic code of an individual regardless of how the change manifests. A genetic disorder is the result of an unfavorable mutation that results through through heterozygous recessive parents producing a homozygous recessive offspring, a random dominant mutation, or multiple polygenic mutations that compound for a negative effect on an individual as examples.

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.

Mutations during meiosis can lead to genetic variability in offspring. Depending on the type and location of the mutation, it can result in genetic disorders, altered traits, or have no noticeable effect.
