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.
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
b: the organism, but not its offspring
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.
You can have a baby with physical/mental deformities or death of the child.
A point mutation is when a single nucleotide switches from G to C or from A to T, or when a single nucleotide is deleted or inserted. It's unlikely for any single mutation to have a significant effect, but the effects that could occur could be anything, ranging from eliminating or altering protein synthesis of a particular protein to altering the regulatory function of a stretch of DNA and thereby affecting the embryological development of an organism.
Yes but Mutation point 😂 A. Point Mutation
Certainly, the quill of the feather can easily puncture skin or an artery. You could somehow snort one up your nose and suffocate. You could catch any number of diseases from the feather and perish.
A genetic mutation is a change in a single or several base pair nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. Mutations arise due to random errors during cell replication, as well as mutagens, which are mutation inducing physical or chemical agents.
Chromosomal mutation can have lasting impacts on the person who this happens to. A version of a chromosomal mutation is the mutation that leads to Down's Syndrome.
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
Not with natural reproduction. If you cloned the parent that had the somatic mutation, you could pass it on to the offspring if you used the nucleus from the cell that had the somatic mutation.
You could of knocked me over with a feather is an old saying. This saying means, whatever was said or done, is so surprising.
A change in a gene could involve a mutation that alters the DNA sequence, affecting the function of the protein it codes for. A change in a chromosome could involve alterations in the structure, number, or distribution of genetic material, leading to genetic disorders or diseases.
not with one but you could choke someone with enough
Generally, a germ line mutation or sex cell mutation. Could be anything from a point mutation, one amino acid difference, to a whole frame shift mutation.
