Genes are a few pieces along a chromosome. When a cell divides, the chromosome is copied. Some time the copy is not exact. Have you ever copied something and ever made a mistake? A gene might have an extra instruction added or an instruction deleted. Sometimes, a gene will be duplicated. Frequently the mistake causes the death of the cell. Sometimes it gives an organism an advantage of some type. Some people in parts of Russia can not catch AIDS due to a mutation. At one time such changes were called spontaneous. Now it is suspected such changes are caused by mistakes in copying.

What does it mean by a gene being mutated?
A mutated gene is a gene that has undergone a change in its DNA sequence. This change can alter the function of the gene, affecting how proteins are made or regulated, which can lead to differences in traits or diseases.
How can mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
What is muteins?
protein that is a product of expression of a gene that was mutated.
Osteogenesis imperfecta is dominant or recessive?
Osteogenesis imperfecta is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning one copy of the mutated gene is enough to cause the condition. However, in some cases, it can be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern if both parents are carriers of the mutated gene.
If a boy inherits a disease that is autosomal recessive he inherited it from his mother?
If a boy inherits an autosomal recessive disease, he would have inherited one copy of the mutated gene from each of his parents. The mother is a carrier, meaning she has one copy of the mutated gene but does not show symptoms of the disease. When both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that the child will inherit two copies of the mutated gene and have the disease.
What is a changed gene?
mutated
What most mutated genes are which cause human disorders?
A mutated gene is just a gene that doesn't have the correct DNA or alleles.. Depending of the human disorder the gene that is mutated will be different... We use genes throughout our bodies but ALL genes can cause human disorders but there is NO single gene that, when mutated, creates ALL genetic modification...

Why are most mutations in eukaryotes recessive?
Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that the mutated gene is only expressed when both copies of the gene are mutated, resulting in a recessive trait.
How can mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
What is muteins?
protein that is a product of expression of a gene that was mutated.
What is the new mRNA stand produced by this mutated gene?
The specific sequence of the new mRNA strand produced by a mutated gene will depend on the nature of the mutation. Mutations can cause changes in the coding region of the gene, leading to alterations in the mRNA sequence and potentially affecting the resulting protein or gene function. Further analysis and sequencing of the mutated gene would be required to determine the exact mRNA sequence.
What can cause a mutated gene?
# UV light # carcinogenics # heat # viruses

Is there a gene related to colon or rectal cancer?
In patients with colon or rectal cancer, the p53 gene is mutated 70% of the time
