What else can I help you with?
Are all physical differences caused by genetic differences?
No. Some can be caused are caused by nurture: health - including diet and diseases.
How does a genetic mutation occur when the mom and dad does not have one?
If something were passed down from parents, that would be inheritance. A mutation is when something goes wrong and causes a change in the genetic structure. Mutations can be caused by radiation or chemicals or mutations can also occur "naturally" when some part of DNA replication or correction goes wrong.
What is ORF shift?
It's called a framing error or a reading frameshift a genetic mutation caused by indels (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not evenly divisible by three.
What would happen if the microscope wasn't invented?
*Without the microscope doctors wouldn't be able to develope medicans for certain diseases because they wouldn'tknow what caused it.* People would die and doctors wouldn't know what caused it to occur.
When was the germ theory discovered?
Louis Pasteur was the first man to stumble across the germ theory, and was discovered in 1861. This then led to many other diseases being found as everyone know knew that germs caused disease. Robert Koch was one of these scientists and he found the cure for two of the most deadliest diseases from the time: cholera and TB (tuberculosis), with the help from a microsope he was able to isolate the germ that caused the disease and so other scientists could then work on how to cure the diseases.
Genetic mutation caused by the loss of a chromosomal segment?
Deletion
Is Huntington's disease caused by a gene mutation or a chromosomal mutation?
Huntington's disease is caused by a gene mutation, specifically in the HTT gene on chromosome 4.
Is down's syndrome caused by a gene or chromosomal mutation?
Neither. It is an extra #21 chromosome.
Is cystic fibrosis chromosomal abnormality?
Yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein CFTR.
What diseases are caused by a genetic mutation?
nodules
An inherited disease or disorder that is caused by a mutation in a gene or by a chromosomal defect?
There are many thousands of different mutations.
Is down syndrome and pku caused by chromosomal abnormalities?
Down syndrome is caused by an additional chromosome while PKU is due to a mutation or defect in a gene.
What diseases are thought to be caused by point mutation?
Sickle cell anemia.
What dieseases comes from a mutation in the hemogobin?
Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia are two diseases caused by mutation of the protein hemoglobin.
What disease is called by a genetic mutation?
cystic fibrosis
What type of chromosomal mutation is wolf hirschhorn syndrome?
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is primarily caused by a deletion of a portion of chromosome 4, specifically at the 4p16.3 region. This chromosomal mutation is classified as a deletion mutation, where a segment of the chromosome is missing, leading to the loss of genetic material. The syndrome is characterized by developmental delays, distinctive facial features, and other congenital anomalies.
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a gene mutation or chromosomal mutation?
Cystic fibrosis is primarily caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which is located on chromosome 7. These mutations can result in a defective or non-functioning CFTR protein, leading to the characteristic symptoms of the disease.
