Which environmental factor can increase the rate of mutation in organism?
Generally i find, factors like being in a museum, with one un-accounted genetically enhanced spider is a likely factor. also barrels of nuclear waste, falling of trucks can also increase mutation rates.
What factor causes the greatest change in gene pools?
Environmental factors cause the greatest change in gene pools. some of these factors are radiation,pollution,food supply,population,predators,and camouflage. Of these factors the most important to today's gene pool is radiation because it causes mutation in the chromosomes and can completely change an organism.
What does not affect the rate of mutation is a molecular clock?
A molecular clock is a method used to estimate the time of evolutionary events based on the rate of molecular changes, particularly in DNA sequences. While it provides insights into the timing of divergence between species, it does not influence the actual rate of mutation, which is determined by factors such as environmental influences, replication errors, and DNA repair mechanisms. Thus, the molecular clock is a tool for interpreting mutation rates rather than a factor that affects them.
When is a mutation helpful?
A Mutation is helpful if it helps the Mutated survive more readily in the wild. If a hummingbird needs a longer beak because a flower is long, then it mutates over generationsd to accomidate the problem
What happens to the DNA that results Hemophilia A?
There are several different mutations that can cause hemophilia and there is no typical answer to this question. There are different segments of code on the X chromosome that is responsible for enabling production of Factors VIII & IX. A mutation anywhere within these areas can be responsible for hemophilia. The type of mutation as well as the location of the mutation in that code can influence the severity of hemophilia as well. Lets look at a reversal mutation that results in the creation of a stop codon (this type of mutation is often called a nonsense mutation) early on in the code sequence. The stop codon tells the machinery to stop production of the factor protein molecule at that point. In this case, the molecule would never actually be made. If we look instead at a point mutation resulting in simply an incorrect amino acid in that location (often called a missense mutation) half way through the code sequence, results can vary dramatically. The factor molecule will be made incorrectly, either not functioning for its purpose at all or simply doing a less than efficient job. I hope that helps some.

What is the mutation in hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a mutation of either of the genes that make factor VII or IX. Hemophilia A is a mutation of the F8 gene and Hemophilia B is the mutation of the F9 gene. Both of these mutations occur on the sex-linked X chromosome.
What are the risk factor of achondroplasia?
Achondroplasia is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in the FGFR3 gene and is mostly inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The most significant risk factor is advanced paternal age, as older fathers are more likely to pass on the mutation. Additionally, having a family history of achondroplasia increases the risk of having affected children. Environmental factors do not play a significant role in the development of this condition.
What environmental factor decreases population?
The general term for an environmental factor that causes a population to decrease is a limiting factor. Some examples are emigration and mortality, a lack of resources, natural disasters happen which makes people scared to to live there so the people flee, and habitat loss.
What factor causes the greatest change in gene pools?

Of these factors the most important to today's gene pool is radiation because it causes mutation in the chromosomes and can completely change an organism.
What is the definition for environmental factor?
If you can feel it, see it, hear it, taste it or smell it, it is an environmental factor. We tend to use the words "environmental factor" only for negative attributes, like loud noises or nasty smells. But anything that you can sense in the environment (which is everything around you) is an "environmental factor".
