Mutations are expressed through changes in DNA sequence, leading to altered protein production, which can result in various phenotypic changes. These changes can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral depending on the specific mutation and its effect on the organism. Mutations are ultimately reflected in an organism's traits and characteristics.

What did Darwin call individuals that express mutations?

Darwin referred to individuals that expressed mutations as variations or variants in his theory of evolution.


Are human limb mutations dominant or recessive?

Human limb mutations can be either dominant or recessive, depending on the specific gene involved. Typically, mutations that cause limb abnormalities are rare and can be caused by mutations in either dominant or recessive genes. Dominant mutations require only one copy of the mutated gene to be expressed, while recessive mutations require both copies to be mutated for the trait to be expressed.


Is mutation dominate or recessive?

it depends on what mutation you speak of. some are and some are not.


What could happen to DNA that would cause a change in trait or a new trait to be expressed?

That would be a mutation. There are several types of mutations such as silent, nonsense, missense mutations along with inserstions, deletions and amplifications


Are all mutations dominant?

No, not all mutations are dominant. Mutations can be dominant, recessive, or have incomplete dominance depending on how they affect the resulting trait and how they interact with other genes in the organism. Dominant mutations are expressed even if there is only one copy of the mutated gene, while recessive mutations require two copies to be expressed.

Why are most mutations in eukaryotes recessive?

Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that the mutated gene is only expressed when both copies of the gene are mutated, resulting in a recessive trait.


What is the difference between an inactive allele and an expressed allele?

An expressed allele is actively used to produce a specific protein or trait in an organism, while an inactive allele is not being actively used or expressed due to various factors such as mutations or epigenetic modifications. Inactive alleles may still be present in an individual's genetic makeup but are not contributing to the phenotype.


Describe how gene mutations affect protein production.?

gene mutations can affect protein production through various mutations as nonsense mutations are any genetic mutation that leads to the RNA sequence becoming a stop codon. missense mutations are mutations that changes an amino acid from one to another. Slient mutations are mutations  that dont affect the protein at all.
