Can mutations occur in jellyfish?
Mutations happen in ALL living things (and also in viruses)!!!!!!
Are viruses less harmful after mutations occur?
Not necessarily; mutations in viruses can lead to changes in their virulence. While some mutations may result in a less harmful strain, others can increase a virus's ability to spread or evade the immune system, potentially making it more dangerous. The impact of mutations varies widely depending on the specific virus and the nature of the changes. Overall, each mutation must be evaluated individually to determine its effects on harmfulness.
What are 4 things that contribute to mutation?
DNA replication errors during cell division can introduce mutations. Exposure to mutagens such as radiation, chemicals, and viruses can cause DNA damage and mutations. Environmental factors like UV light can induce mutations in DNA. Inherited genetic mutations passed down from parents can contribute to mutations in offspring.
What is the most likely effect of an error during DNA translation?
The most likely effect of an error during DNA translation is a mutation. Some mutations are beneficial, some are deadly and some are what is called "nonsense" mutations. Nonsense mutations have no benefits nor do they have any "bad" consequences.
Why is it easy for a virus to mutate?
Viruses mutate easily because they have a high mutation rate due to errors in their replication process. Additionally, viruses have short generation times which allows them to quickly accumulate mutations. Mutations can help viruses evade the immune system, adapt to new hosts or environments, and become more infectious.

Why are some mutation not harmful?
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.
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
What is the useful effect of virus?
useful effect viruses
Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?
Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.
What effect can mutations on a virus?
They create genetic variations.
Do all mutations affect the protein results?
No. Point mutations may have no effect on the protein, however, they can also be very harmful.
Can science mutate humans?
Mutations arise as a result of exposure to radiation, chemicals, and viruses. Many different things might act as a mutagen. Science itself probably does not cause mutations.

What does Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through?
Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through mutation. Mutations are heritable changes in DNA and RNA that changes the genes..
What is one bad effect of internet?
Viruses is the bad effect of internet.
Why do antibiotics have an effect on Swine Flu?
They do not have an effect on swine flu, but can be helpful if a secondary bacterial infection occurs with the flu or after the flu. Antibiotics have no effect on viruses. The flu is caused by viruses. Antibiotics are for treating infections by bacteria, not for treating infections by viruses.
