A one base left out mutation is called a deletion mutation. This type of mutation involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a DNA sequence, which can lead to a frameshift mutation if not in multiples of three.
Well, the white tigers fur mutation isn't dominant nor beneficial (depends). The allele for white fur in tigers is recessive and even then not many tigers are heterozygous (One dominant allele and one recessive allele for those who do not know) Now it can be beneficial depending where the tigers live, there used to be Siberian Tigers who lived in the snow so it would be beneficial there but white fur will decrease stealth ability in the jungles, therefore alleles can be beneficial or harmful depending on the allele and where the organism lives.
It is through mutation.
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.
One example of a beneficial mutation in genetics is the mutation that causes sickle cell anemia. This mutation provides some protection against malaria, making individuals with this mutation less susceptible to the disease.
The mutation theory is basically stating that mutation is one of the major factors that cause evolution. The mutation has to be a beneficial mutation, meaning that it has to help the survival of the organism that got the mutation. The mutation causes knew genes and diversity which can spread quickly throughout a population and eventually change the frequency of alleles (causes mutation) Remember the mutation has to be beneficial to the survival of the organism.
Mutations can be beneficial when they give an organism a characteristic that helps it thrive in its environment. A mutation that makes a prey animal faster or more easily camouflaged might be an example. Or a mutation that makes a predator stronger, or one that allows a plant to more easily withstand drought. They promote positive diversity within their species in a way that is beneficial to survival.
The only one most humans know about is the ligger so i will go with that honestly.
Those that increase your health, your survival, your ability to have children and of course too many other benefits to name, here. Generally mutations are the key to natural selection. Beneficial mutations that occur allow an organism to survive longer, thus reproduce more, passing this mutated trait down to their offspring.
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation
There are a number of types of radiation that can cause mutation in humans.Gamma radiation is probably the one you were thinking of, but ultraviolet radiation can also cause mutation.Pretty much any kind of radiation that causes mutation will almost always cause cancer, as a result.
A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. This can be beneficial if the change gives a new function to or improves the function of that gene. The above is a definition. But one must really define "beneficial". Some regard it as beneficial if it helps the specific individual who has it. Others would think it beneficial if it produced some survival advantage that insured more descendents for that individual. It is the difference between a mutation that allowed for greater athletic ability, but a decreased desire for offspring, versus a more moderate athletic enhancement, but a greater desire for offspring. The small percentage of ways to improve an organism, versus the near infinite ways of harming the organism, mean that most mutations are not going to be beneficial. At best, they will be "inconsequential" - such as a new shade of eye color, or a mole on a section of your skin. The populist notion of "powers" that can come from mutations is wildly inaccurate. Even assuming a minor power like the ability to see infra red radiation would take thousands upon thousands of mutations over vast amounts of time. A mutation for blindness is far more likely. It should also be noted that the traditional model of evolutionary theory no longer applies to man. We don't allow changes in our environment, and without such changes, there is no need for one trait more than another to predominate. After all, it is irrelevent that a mutation might allow for greater speed in running, when everyone drives a car.

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.
A one base left out mutation is called a deletion mutation. This type of mutation involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a DNA sequence, which can lead to a frameshift mutation if not in multiples of three.
Heredity is how information is based from one generation to the next; encoded in the DNA molecule. A mutation is a mistake that is made in the DNA. Most mutations have no affect, some are harmful, and a small number confer an advantage. Natural Selection works to eliminate the harmful and enhance the beneficial.
