Mutations themselves do not cause infections; rather, they can occur in pathogens like bacteria and viruses, potentially affecting their ability to infect hosts. For example, mutations may enhance a virus's transmissibility or resistance to treatments, leading to more severe outbreaks. In this way, while mutations are a factor in the evolution of infectious agents, the actual infections are caused by the pathogens themselves, not the mutations directly.
What else can I help you with?
How do mutations relate to traits?
Mutations cause certain traits.
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
What are some ways that mutations in some living things are helpful to those organisms but harmful to humans?
Mutations in bacteria that confer antibiotic resistance help the bacteria survive and thrive in their environment, but can be harmful to humans if these bacteria cause infections that are difficult to treat. Similarly, mutations in insects that confer resistance to pesticides help them survive, but can be harmful to humans as it makes pest control more difficult.
What do Klebsiella and Proteus cause?
Klebsiella and Proteus sometimes cause pneumonia, ear and sinus infections, and urinary tract infections
How do mutations relate to traits?
Mutations cause certain traits.
What types of external stimuli cause mutations?
While this question should be recategorized because external stimuli do not cause the mutations that result in hemophilia, there are many types of radiation that can cause gene mutations as well as chemical exposure. For example sun light is UV light radiation wich can cause mutations (for example the mutations that result in skin cancer).
What are some things that can cause those mutations that cause cancer?
Many herbicides and pesticides hit the nuclear material and cause mutations when used to protect crop plants. Apart from causing mutations these very chemicals are carcinogenic in nature and cause cancer.
How do mutations cause genetic disorder?
it cause every cell
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
What are cancer mutations?
Some mutations cause cells to lose control over cell division
Can ear infections cause skin rash?
can ear infections cause skin rah?
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
What is something in the environment that may cause mutations?
you!
What do we call mutation that is brought about by the earth natural radioactivity?
Natural radioactivity can cause spontaneous mutations in an organism's DNA. These mutations are often referred to as spontaneous mutations or radiation-induced mutations.
What are some of possible consequence of mutations?
DNA mutations can cause genetic disorders such as cancer, Diabetes, and Asthma.
