What diseases can result from this type of mutation?
cancer...for all the study island cheaters:)
How is a mutation harmful to a organism?
Not all mutations are harmful. A mutation the give the organism antibiotic resistance, for example, is quite helpful. A different mutation that causes a necessary protein to misfold may result in death. In general mutations that affect proteins that are necessary for life will result in the death of the organism. One such mutation is in the protein p53 which is necessary to prevent a cell from growing uncontrollable (cancer). A mutation in p53 could result in a cell with damaged DNA to reproduce - this is what we call cancer.
The substitution addition or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a what mutation?
The substitution, addition, or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a point mutation. This type of mutation can result in changes to the amino acid sequence of a protein, leading to potential functional consequences.
Can you get cancer from heavy bruising?
No. Bruising is usually a result of a heavy hit which causes underlying blood vessels to rupture. Cancer is caused by a 'mutation' in a persons genes
Should you have Cancer?
No, Cancer is a mutation. It is not normal.
Mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called?
Point Mutation is the mutation that involves a single or few nucleotide. This type of mutation replaces a single nucleotide to another.
What is the result of a mutation occurring in a suppressor gene?
A mutation in a suppressor gene can lead to the loss of its normal function, resulting in the inability to suppress the growth of cancer cells or prevent mutations from occurring. This can contribute to the development and progression of cancer.
What is a mutation that affects the gametes of an organism?
A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
What would a single change in the sequence of nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule most likely result in?
A mutation
What small genetic change such as a single mutation may result in?
genetic drift....
What result when a misreading occurs in the copying of DNA?
A mutation, usually a point mutation (where a single 'letter' in the genetic code is changed).
A mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called a(an)?
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
