What is a source of genetic variation that refers to a random error in the genetic code?
Mutations involve changes in the DNA code.
Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?
The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.

Discuss the issues related to genetic mutations: sexual reproductions, migration and population size
What is the origin of almost all genetic differences between organisms?
Almost all genetic differences between organisms originate from mutations, which are changes in the DNA sequence. These mutations can occur spontaneously during DNA replication or be induced by environmental factors. Over time, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow act on these mutations, shaping the genetic diversity observed in populations. This genetic variation is crucial for evolution and adaptation to changing environments.
How can several different mutations cause the same genetic disease?
Several different mutations can cause the same genetic disease due to the redundancy and complexity of genetic coding. Multiple mutations can occur in the same gene, affecting its function in various ways, such as altering protein structure, disrupting regulation, or leading to premature stop signals. Additionally, mutations in different genes that interact within the same biological pathway can also result in similar disease phenotypes. This genetic variability highlights the diverse mechanisms through which diseases can manifest despite differing underlying mutations.
Are all mutations generic?
Yes. All mutations of the genetic material are genetic.
What are the genetic mutations of dinosaurs?
HA! there are no genetic mutations! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! no mutants
What genetic material are called mutations?
Sudden genetic change in the DNA of an organism called mutations.
What do the symptoms of mitochondrial myopathies depend on?
Symptoms of mitochondrial myopathies are largely variable from person to person, even within the same family, and are dependent on the amount and type of genetic mutations present
Are genetic mutations always harmful to the individual?
Genetic mutations are not always harmful to the individual. A few may be beneficial.
What is a source of genetic variation that refers to a random error in the genetic code?
Mutations involve changes in the DNA code.
Define a genetic mutation and state the types of genetic mutations?
A genetic mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect an organism's traits. The types of genetic mutations include point mutations (substitution, insertion, deletion), frameshift mutations, and chromosomal mutations (deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation).
Which increases genetic variation?
Mutations
Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?
mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.
Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?
The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.
What are the key differences between cis and trans mutations in genetic variations?
Cis mutations occur on the same strand of DNA, while trans mutations occur on different strands. Cis mutations affect nearby genes, while trans mutations can affect genes located far apart.
