1.)Mutations can be inherited. This means if a parent has a mutation in his/her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to the child.
2.)Mutations can be acquired. This happens when a mistake accurs when a cell copies its DNA.
3.)Mutations can occur by a hidden gene. This happens when your ancestor(for example, "grandma") has the mutation and that mutation is passed on to every other girl(for example), then the girl will get the mutation.
What else can I help you with?
Fill in the blank Environmental causes of mutations are called?
mutagens
What causes mutations?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking
Can mutations be avoided?
Mutations are a natural part of the genetic process and can occur randomly during DNA replication. While some mutations can be avoided by minimizing exposure to known mutagens such as certain chemicals or radiation, it is impossible to completely eliminate the occurrence of mutations in an organism's DNA.
What are the causes of genetic human disorders?
The causes of genetic disorders areThey can be inherited through Parents;Mutations may occur;A deletion may occur.These are the causes of a genetic disorder.
How does natural selection affect the frequency of mutatons?
Natural selection works on mutations that are already in place. The environmental changes will select for certain mutations if the selective pressure is supplied long enough for several generations of offspring to carry a higher percentage of the mutation.
Mutations that occur at random are called?
Mutations that occur at random are called spontaneous mutations.
What do we call mutation that is brought about by the earth natural radioactivity?
Natural radioactivity can cause spontaneous mutations in an organism's DNA. These mutations are often referred to as spontaneous mutations or radiation-induced mutations.
What causes mutations that ends in an n?
Radiation.
Natural selection is due to?
beneficial mutations
Which mutations are NOT subject to natural selection - lethal physiological neutral or morphological?
Neutral mutations confer no benefits or handicaps and are therefore not affected by natural selection.
What causes variations in numbats?
Mutations in a numbat's DNA.
How does slow change over time occur genetically?
Through mutations in DNA, and natural selection of advantageous mutations.
Fill in the blank Environmental causes of mutations are called?

What are the mechanisms of evolution?
There are several mechanisms for evolution. The first (and most important) being natural selection, which plays off random mutations. Genetic drift is also another important aspect of evolution. EDIT: It depends on what you mean by "mechanism." Mutations are thought to be the mechanism that causes the change in DNA, then natural selection and Gentic drift take over. Unfortunately, mutations do not hold up and evolution is ultimately left without a mechanism. This article on mutations gives an indepth explanation http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/wow/are-mutations-the-engine STRAIT FROM THE BIOLOGY BOOK :)
What are the causes of microevolution?
The same as the causes of so called macroevolution. The change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow. I would rip to pieces about half of the biology text books of America over this constant misunderstanding of evolutionary theory they perpetrate.
What are the mutations in the G protein that causes Pseudohypoparathyroidism?
The mutations are in the Gs-alpha subunit ( for example, Arg485 to His) and leads to pseudohypoparathyroidism, also known as Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy.
