sunlight, radiation, and smoking.
What else can I help you with?
What is physicial or chemical agents known as that can cause mutagen?
a change in the mRNA makes a mutation of the DNA
What is random errors when DNA is copied called?
It's called a mutation.
The mismatch of a DNA base pair during duplication can result in a mutation?
Yes, when a DNA base pair is mismatched during duplication, it can lead to a mutation in the DNA sequence. This can cause changes in the protein produced, potentially impacting the function of the gene and, ultimately, the organism.
If a change is made in the DNA strand it is called a?
A mutation
When a child is born with a chromosomal mutation when did the mutation occurs?
during meiosis
What factors is most likely caused a mutation in DNA?
There are two main factors that cause a mutation in DNA. These factors include: the DNA fails to accurately copy itself and external influence cause a breakdown in the DNA.
Can a point mutation cause a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence?
Yes, a point mutation can cause a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence.
What can a genetic mutation cause?
A genetic mutation can cause a variation, which may be harmless, or may be harmful, depending on where on the DNA molecule it occurs.
In your own words write a definition for the word mutation?
mutation: a change in the sequence of DNA to cause a unusal trait
How can a mutation in a DNA bases sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
How can a mutation in a DNA base sequence cause change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?
A frameshift mutation
What would happen if we didn't have junk DNA?
If we didn't have junk DNA any mutation would cause damage to essential sequences of DNA and likely kill the host. It would be to dangerous to be in the sun because uv radiation cause mutations. However most of the mutation occur in the non essentioal junk DNA thus protecting essential DNA.
The substitution of one base for another during DNA replication is an example of?
Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.
How can a mutation in a base sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
Why is important that exact copies of DNA are produced during replication?
because if not.. it will cause DNA mutation... your features may change or worst.. it may cause cancer... because in theory.. cancer is caused by DNA mutations...
What type of mutation when a nucleotide is dropped from a DNA sequence?
A deletion mutation occurs when a nucleotide is dropped from a DNA sequence. This can cause a shift in the reading frame, leading to a non-functional protein being produced.
