In genetics, mutation refers to a change in the sequence of genes. This can mean a change in the genes in an organism's DNA or in the DNA/RNA of a virus.
There are many different types of mutations, which will have differing effects depending on how many bases/sections have been changed, where the sections are located and how different the resultant protein(s) will be.
For example; a change in one base, that does not change the amino acid that will be coded for is called a silent mutation. This will have no affect on the resulting protein or the organism.

What is the mutation phase of narcissism?
Are you referring to the "cycle" experienced by the Narcissist when he or she is devoid of narcissistic supply? Or are you referring to the way a child could develop into a narcissist? I have never heard of a "mutation phase" - do you have a reference, perhaps?
Does mutation depend on evolution?
The mutation theory is basically stating that mutation is one of the major factors that cause evolution. The mutation has to be a beneficial mutation, meaning that it has to help the survival of the organism that got the mutation. The mutation causes knew genes and diversity which can spread quickly throughout a population and eventually change the frequency of alleles (causes mutation) Remember the mutation has to be beneficial to the survival of the organism.
A change in the genetic material of a cell is called?
Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.
Which mutation results in a single missing letter in the genetic code?
frameshift mutation: deletion
I think I am the product of genetic mutation What should I do?
If you think you have a large genetic mutation, consult your doctor.
Is this mutation dominant or recessive?
it depends on what mutation you speak of. some are and some are not.
Will a mutation in a human skin cell pass on to the persons offspring?
If you are referring to a mutation in individual cells of the skin, then no.
What is the mutation phase of narcissism?
Are you referring to the "cycle" experienced by the Narcissist when he or she is devoid of narcissistic supply? Or are you referring to the way a child could develop into a narcissist? I have never heard of a "mutation phase" - do you have a reference, perhaps?
What type of mutation is depicted here?
I'm sorry, but I cannot see any images or specifics related to the mutation you're referring to. If you describe the mutation or provide details, I can help identify the type of mutation, such as point mutation, insertion, deletion, or frameshift.
How do geneticists use pedigrees?
Pedigrees are used to determine a family's history of a disease, which can be due to mutation. It is used to tell whether or not a disease in gene is recessive or dominant, sex-based or autosomal.
Geneticists use letters to represent the alleles of organisms?
Geneticists use probability to predict possible genotypes and phenotypes
Where can one find more information about transduction?
Transduction is a DNA process that is performed by skilled geneticists. The best resource you have on learning more about the process is to speak with a health care professional.
Is mutation dominate or recessive?
it depends on what mutation you speak of. some are and some are not.
How can geneticists be important in society?
Geneticists are important because they can cure most diseases. The way that they know that if your sick or not they take some of your blood and examine it.
Who does M. C. Escher influence?
geneticists
What are people who study heredity called?
People who study heredity are called geneticists. Geneticists analyze how genes are passed down from parents to offspring and study how different traits are inherited. They also investigate genetic variation and the role it plays in health and disease.
What do population geneticists use the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium equation to determine?
Population geneticists use the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation to assess whether a population is evolving or in genetic equilibrium. By comparing observed genotype frequencies to those predicted by the equation, they can identify factors such as selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift that may be affecting the population's genetic structure. If the observed frequencies deviate significantly from the expected values, it suggests that evolutionary forces are at play.
