A mutation in a gene that would predispose someone to a deadly disease, such as breast or ovarian cancer.
If it is harmful it will not survive long
It can have absolutely no affect, a bad affect, or even a good affect.*Deletion and Addition are frameshift: most harmful.
a beneficial mutation in an animal, plant, cell or bacteria will allow it to have a better chance of survival and allow it to continue passing on its DNA in its offspring. a harmful mutation does the exact opposite it hinders the animals survival and will eventually lead it's species to extinction.
A mutation may persist if it provides a survival advantage to carriers despite its harmful effects on some individuals. This could be due to factors such as increased reproductive success or traits that benefit the species as a whole. Additionally, the mutation may not affect individuals until after they have already passed on their genes.
If a person with a mutation reproduces, there is a chance that the mutation may be inherited by their offspring. Whether the mutation will be passed on and expressed in future generations depends on the type of mutation and its mode of inheritance. Some mutations are harmful, while others can be neutral or even beneficial.
a mutation is sometimes a form of adaptation, but if something changes in the DNA of the species and could possibly be harmful to it, that is a harmful mutation.Examples:-born without a part of the brain-cancer is a form of a harmful mutation-hypoglycemia
a bad mutation would be if your DNA coded for you not to be able to digest fats. you would starve to death.
harmful mutation
it can be, it depends on whether the mutation is useful
Some mutations can be deadly, harmful, or have no effect. Correct, not all mutations are harmful. Some mutations could even have a positive effect and help the creature adapt.
yes some....
A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.
A deleterious mutation has a negative effect on the phenotype, and thus decreases the fitness of the organism. (A harmful mutation)
Mutation would not be harmful if the mutation allowed an animal to live longer. This may be the case if an animal that is not normally albino is born albino in a place that gets a lot of snow.
its not
mutation
No. Although there is a chance of a beneficial mutation, the chance of it occurring is almost astronomical. Most mutations are harmful to humans.
