Technically anything that effects a person in either adult or a foetus (or even an embryo) is a disease or condition (even the creation of Siamese twins). Mutations are changes in the DNA-they may cause diseases or conditions of course.

Could a single mutation cause barbules to form on feather barbs?

Although the cause of barbules to form on feather barbs doesn't sound like a difficult change in evolution, it would likely take more than just a single mutation for such an evolutionary change to occur. Most likely, it would take many mutations.


How mutation can affect in another mutant?

A mutant can be mutated just as any other life form.


What type of mutation results when bases are added to the gene?

This is called an insertion mutation.Some repeats, such as the repeats in the Huntington's gene, can be repeated too many times and then you have the deleterious mutation in this gene.


What is an Analogy for Mutation?

A mutation is like a typographical error in a printed book, where a small change in the text can lead to a different meaning or outcome. Just as a typo can alter the intended message of a sentence, a mutation in DNA can result in changes to an organism's traits or characteristics.


Write a sentence using silent mutation missense mutation frameshift mutation non sense mutation deletion dupication inversion transloction gene rearangement?

a silent mutation is one that doesn't affect the overall physiological role or roles of the species, so it has no change or noticeable change in the subject. A missense mutation simply causes one amino acid to change into a different amino acid, it could cause a problem or it could not. A frameshift is when an amino acid is removed. The removal moves all amino acids hereafter over one, which changes the codon sequence of the entire gene. This mutation can be detrimental. A nonsense mutation is usually classified as a premature stop codon. It's a point mutation that can cause a gene to become smaller than it really is. an inversion is the reversal of a gene, which is also very problematic. Translocations are removal of one amino acid, which is then transferred to a separate nonhomologous chromosome. A gene rearrangement is just another name for a duplication, inversion, or deletion. It's not one sentence, but it is a hell of a lot of good information. email for questions: bmalinak@gmail.com
