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.


What Mutation does not affect the offsping?

Somatic mutations are not passed on to offspring because they occur in non-reproductive cells. These mutations only affect the individual in which they occur, and are not transmitted to future generations.


What are cell cycle regulators are?

These are cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs).


What are the key differences between cis and trans mutations in genetic variations?

Cis mutations occur on the same strand of DNA, while trans mutations occur on different strands. Cis mutations affect nearby genes, while trans mutations can affect genes located far apart.


How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?

Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.


How can mutations affect protein synthesis?

it can cause cancer


Do neutral mutations affect biodiversity?

Neutral mutations do not have a significant impact on biodiversity because they do not affect an organism's ability to survive and reproduce. Biodiversity is mainly influenced by mutations that provide a fitness advantage or disadvantage, leading to changes in the frequency of different traits within a population. Neutral mutations simply accumulate over time without impacting biodiversity directly.


What are the 3 things that regulate the cell cycle?

The three main regulators of the cell cycle are cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and checkpoints. Cyclins bind to CDKs to activate them at specific points in the cell cycle, triggering progression from one phase to the next. Meanwhile, checkpoints monitor cell cycle progression and can pause or stop the cycle if errors or damage are detected.


Do all mutations affect the protein results?

No. Point mutations may have no effect on the protein, however, they can also be very harmful.


How do mutations affect genetic equilibrium?

by introducing new alleles


What type of macromolecules are cyclins?

proteins


Why are cyclins called cyclins?

Cyclins are named as such because their levels fluctuate in a cyclical manner during the cell cycle, peaking and falling at specific points to regulate the progression from one phase to another. This cyclical pattern of expression led to their name "cyclins."
