What does a mutation have to do with human DNA?

A mutation usually is associated with the change in DNA pattern. Depending on the mutation (which can occur for various reasons such as radioactivity or birth defect), it might be deadly or harmless.

What type of mutation is tourettes syndrome?

Tourette syndrome is believed to be a complex disorder with a combination of genetic and environmental factors contributing to its development. It is not caused by a single mutation, but rather likely involves several genetic variations that increase susceptibility to the disorder.

possibly. maybe some people naturally have them, because of genetic mutation and others might have them because the government might secretly be experimenting, you never know.


WHAT HAPPEN IF YOU CHANGE A SINGLE BASE CODON?

If one base in a codon was changed, this would be a point mutation. This may not cause any change in the structure of the protein, or it could be severely damaging. Since most amino acids have more than one codon, it's possible that the mutation would result in one of the other codons for that amino acid. In that case, there would be no change in the sequence of amino acids, and no change in the structure or function of the protein. A point mutation might also result in a codon that codes for a totally different amino acid, which can cause a genetic disorder. One example of a genetic disorder caused by a point mutation is sickle cell anemia. It's also possible that the point mutation could cause the codon to code for a stop signal. Please read the article in the related links for more information.


Isare the raw material of evolutionary change?

Mutations are essential to evolution. Every genetic feature in every organism was, initially, the result of a mutation. The new genetic variant (allele) spreads via reproduction, and differential reproduction is a defining aspect of evolution. It is easy to understand how a mutation that allows an organism to feed, grow or reproduce more effectively could cause the mutant allele to become more abundant over time. Soon the population may be quite ecologically and/or physiologically different from the original population that lacked the adaptation. Even deleterious mutations can cause evolutionary change, especially in small populations, by removing individuals that might be carrying adaptive alleles at other genes.


Did you cause the deficit in your son's brain if you are a mother with Asperger's Syndrome and your husband has high-functioning autism with ADD and your entire family of three children are affected?

Since all three children are affected, it is likely that your son inherited the genetic tendency for an autism spectrum disorder rather than it being a spontaneous genetic mutation. He might have inherited it from either or both parents.


How is the term insertion properly defined?

'Insertion' is a therm in genetic science. It describes the addition of nucleotide base pairs into DNA sequences. It might lead to a hazardous mutation of the DNA.
