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
Can chemicals found in cigarette smoke cause mutations to DNA?
Yes, chemicals in cigarette smoke, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and formaldehyde, can interact with DNA and cause mutations. These mutations can lead to changes in the genetic information, which may increase the risk of cancer and other diseases.
What do mutations cause in genotype and phenotype?
Mutations can cause changes in the genotype by altering the DNA sequence. These changes can then affect the phenotype by influencing the expression of certain traits or characteristics in an organism.
How toxic is plutonium and what are the potential health risks associated with exposure to this radioactive element?
Plutonium is highly toxic and radioactive. Exposure to even small amounts can cause serious health risks, including cancer, organ damage, and genetic mutations. It is important to handle plutonium with extreme caution to avoid harmful effects on health.
Can plutonium causing neurological illnesses?
Yes, exposure to plutonium can cause neurological illnesses. Plutonium is a radioactive element that can accumulate in the body and cause damage to tissues, including the nervous system. Chronic exposure to plutonium has been linked to neurological disorders such as cognitive impairment, memory loss, and motor dysfunction.
Is plutonium cold or warm?
Plutonium is warm; the cause is the heat released by radioactive decay.
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
Why is plutonium-238 dangerous to the body?
Plutonium-238 is dangerous to the body because it is a radioactive metal that emits alpha particles, which can damage living cells and tissues when it comes into contact with them. Exposure to plutonium-238 can lead to long-term health effects such as radiation sickness, cancer, and increased risk of genetic mutations.
What are cancer mutations?
Some mutations cause cells to lose control over cell division
What is something in the environment that may cause mutations?
you!
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
