A mutation can lead to various effects on an organism, ranging from neutral to detrimental or beneficial changes. Neutral mutations may have no impact on the organism's phenotype, while harmful mutations can result in diseases or developmental issues. Conversely, beneficial mutations may enhance an organism's survival or adaptability in its environment. The specific effects depend on factors like the type of mutation, its location in the genome, and the organism's ecological context.
What else can I help you with?
What type of mutation is depicted here?
I'm sorry, but I cannot see any images or specifics related to the mutation you're referring to. If you describe the mutation or provide details, I can help identify the type of mutation, such as point mutation, insertion, deletion, or frameshift.
Is the only possible source of new genetic material?
mutations recombination/crossing over in mammals
What is a possible benefit to a random mutation in an organism?
II and IV only
How does the possible impact of a chromosomal mutation that occurs during meiosis differ from that of a similar event that occurs during mitosis of a body cell not involved in reproduction?
A chromosomal mutation during meiosis can result in genetic variability in offspring due to the formation of gametes with altered chromosomes. In contrast, a similar mutation during mitosis of a body cell not involved in reproduction can lead to a mosaic pattern of affected and unaffected cells in the individual's body. This can result in a localized impact on tissues or organs depending on the extent of mosaicism.
What could be a beneficial effect of a mutation?
gene mutation has many profound and long lasting effects. for starter mutation can change course of evolution. it also can create many heridatory deseases. it can make some desease cousing organisms to become drug resistant. gene mutation can create new species.
What name do scientists use to describe a change in a gene?
Scientists use the term "mutation" to describe a change in a gene. Mutations can be caused by various factors and can result in a range of effects, from no noticeable change to significant alterations in the organism's characteristics.
What would the possible effects be in mutation in a skin cell?
melanoma, apoptosis, squamous cell carcinoma to name a few.
What kind of mutation is a tumor?
it is a mutation like PLX4032 it reverses the effects of a mutation found in certain tumors
What is the effects of mutation?
A mutation is a permenent in DNA sequence of a gene,mutation in a gene's DNA sequence can alterthe aminoacid sequence of the protein encodedby the gene.
What effects can mutation have a virus?
They create genetic variations.
What are some general effects of a mutation?
Some general effects of a mutation are changes in DNA/RNA sequences and plausibly alteration of the product of a gene or the prevention of a gene from functioning properly.
What type of mutation is depicted here?
I'm sorry, but I cannot see any images or specifics related to the mutation you're referring to. If you describe the mutation or provide details, I can help identify the type of mutation, such as point mutation, insertion, deletion, or frameshift.
Can you have an extra rib?
If a mutation caused it, it's possible.
Can a person pass their mutation to their child?
possible but unlikely
What are the signs of a mutation?
Abnormal cell growth and foreign side effects.
What is pleiotropism?
it refers to gene or mutation that has multiple effects like polyphenotype
Which of the following situations is most usual for a dominant allele that results in severe effects in the offspring?
The trait occurs by mutation.
