gene mutation has many profound and long lasting effects. for starter mutation can change course of evolution. it also can create many heridatory deseases. it can make some desease cousing organisms to become drug resistant. gene mutation can create new species.
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
mutation really doesnt effect a population a mutation can be bad or good mutations can protect you from diseases or it can do something harmful to you like give u a extra body part or make you more vulnerable to diseases
answer sh*t please smart people
The location of the mutation within the genome, the type of mutation (e.g., missense, frameshift), and its effect on gene function or protein structure typically determine the magnitude of a mutation's effect. Additionally, the degree to which the mutation disrupts important cellular processes or regulatory mechanisms can also influence its impact.
No one knows what effect a mutation may have. Most are not viable.
Well, there is no specific type of mutation that is beneficial. They can be harmful, helpful, or have no effect at all.
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
More varity in a population
The mutation that has the greatest effect is one that is not only beneficial but that is heavily selected for by the environment. Ideally dominant as it will effect the population more rapidly than a recessive trait. Only traits that are selected for or against in a population change the frequency of the occurance of the alleles in the population.
Yes mutations are the basis of evolution as they provide variance in the phenotype that could have evolutionary advantages
No, a beneficial mutation may not always be considered beneficial in the context of evolution because its effects can change over time or in different environments.
A neutral mutation is a mutation that has no effect on the body. It is an alteration in the DNA sequence that is neither beneficial nor detrimental to an organism's ability to survive and procreate.
If a particular mutation occurs in nature and proves to be beneficial, it can change the entire species to begin to have the same mutation and thus the same good trait. A creature with a mutation that say, gives it a longer tail (and chicks dig a long tail) than he will mate and that mutation will allow his genes to pass on.
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
The mutation rule states that the state of mutations are in a mutated state when compared to a normal state. This is a slight mutation from the original stated rule.
An inactive/other active protein as a polypeptide that is incomplete will not fold properly. You could get a deleterious mutation that destroys protein product, such as Huntington's disease, or a paint mutation that, in heterozygous condition, such as sickle cell trait, is beneficial.
Mutations can lead to changes in an organism's traits, which can be beneficial, harmful, or have no effect. These changes are a natural part of evolution and can drive diversity in populations.
