If a child has a characteristic that neither parent has the characteristic is what?
it could just mean someone else in the family has that characteristic.
What is the difference between an acquired mutation and a hereditary mutation?
An acquired mutation, also known as a somatic mutation, occurs in an individual's cells during their lifetime and is not passed to offspring. These mutations can result from environmental factors, such as radiation or chemicals, or errors during cell division. In contrast, a hereditary mutation is present in the germline cells and can be inherited from a parent, affecting all cells of the offspring. This type of mutation can be passed down through generations and is often associated with genetic disorders.
What is a permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait?
A permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait is called a mutation. Mutations can lead to genetic diversity within a population and are the raw material for evolution.
What is the phenotype of a mutation?
The phenotype of a mutation refers to the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism that result from the mutation. It can include traits such as altered appearance, behavior, or function compared to the wild-type or non-mutated organism.
A frog has a genetic mutation in its skin cells that causes part of its skin to turn orange. The frog will not pass this genetic mutation onto its offspring because?
the mutation is likely a somatic mutation, which occurs in non-germline cells and does not affect the DNA in the reproductive cells (sperm or eggs). Only mutations in the germline can be inherited by offspring. Therefore, while the orange skin may be a unique characteristic of this individual frog, it will not be transmitted to its progeny.
A contrasting form of a hereditary characteristic?
Is called the [genetic] allele.
Is spherocytosis of the liver hereditary?
In most cases spherocytosis is an inherited condition. It is caused by a genetic mutation that is considered a recessive trait.
Why do you have clubbed thumbs?
Clubbed thumbs are a genetic disorder, so you inherit them from your mother, father or both.
If a child has a characteristic that neither parent has the characteristic is what?
it could just mean someone else in the family has that characteristic.
Is blue eyes a mutation?
A mutation is an occurrence that remains consistent in the genetic code from generation to generation. Being color blind is not a mutation because it is not hereditary. It is considered a minor defect of vision, much like being near sighted or far sighted.

Why is DNA considered a better hereditary material than RNA?
DNA is considered a better hereditary material than RNA because it is more stable, has a lower mutation rate, and can store genetic information more efficiently.
A mistake made during copying of genetic information is called a?

How is hemopillia inherited?
Thalassemia is a hereditary genetic disease you get from one parent (the mild form) or both parents (the severe form). Yes, theoretically there can be a mutation but the chance is 1 to 100000000.
I think I am the product of genetic mutation What should I do?
If you think you have a large genetic mutation, consult your doctor.
