mutagens
What are the causes of genetic human disorders?
The causes of genetic disorders areThey can be inherited through Parents;Mutations may occur;A deletion may occur.These are the causes of a genetic disorder.
What type of mutations causes galactosemia?
Galactosemia is primarily caused by mutations in the GALT gene, which encodes an enzyme called galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. Mutations in this gene result in reduced or absent enzyme activity, leading to the accumulation of galactose-1-phosphate in the body.
How does a healthy gene differ from a gene that causes hemophilia?
A healthy gene does not have mutations that disrupt normal blood clotting factors. A gene that causes hemophilia has mutations that affect the production or function of blood clotting factors, leading to difficulty in blood clotting and increased risk of bleeding.
What is the natural causes of mutations?
1.)Mutations can be inherited. This means if a parent has a mutation in his/her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to the child.2.)Mutations can be acquired. This happens when a mistake accurs when a cell copies its DNA.3.)Mutations can occur by a hidden gene. This happens when your ancestor(for example, "grandma") has the mutation and that mutation is passed on to every other girl(for example), then the girl will get the mutation.
What causes mutations that ends in an n?
Radiation.
What causes variations in numbats?
Mutations in a numbat's DNA.
Mutations that occur at random are called?
Mutations that occur at random are called spontaneous mutations.

mutagens
What are the mutations in the G protein that causes Pseudohypoparathyroidism?
The mutations are in the Gs-alpha subunit ( for example, Arg485 to His) and leads to pseudohypoparathyroidism, also known as Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy.
Two causes of mutation?
Two types of mutations are Point Mutations and the other is Frameshift Mutations. Piont mutations include; deletions, insertions, and substitutions. These mutations casue a slight change in the amino acid usually resulting in a change in one amino acid. The second type, frameshift mutations involve many changes and almost always results in many changes in the codons.
Is 'mutations are beneficial to organisms' a true statement about mutations?
Not always. Mutations can have either beneficial, neutral, or harmful effects on organisms. Whether a mutation is beneficial or not depends on how it impacts the organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
Do people usually have more mutations in their cells than animals do?
Since mutations are usually caused by radiation, I would say people have more mutations. A lot of what we use everyday causes radiation. Cell phones, computers, etc.
What causes NPD-C?
Mutations in two independent genes result in the clinical features of this disease.
What are the causes of hereditary diseases?
Genetic mutations passed from parent to child cause hereditary disease.
What are the causes of genetic human disorders?
The causes of genetic disorders areThey can be inherited through Parents;Mutations may occur;A deletion may occur.These are the causes of a genetic disorder.
What characterises a cancer promoter?
A cancer promoter causes cells with DNA mutations to multiply and become tumors.
