What cause cell diversity?

gene control and from the patterns of cellular control for gene product behavior, and play very important role in maintenance number of chromosome in the offsprings against the evaluation changes.


Where could you make mistakes in recombining DNA and what would the results be?

Recombination is a processes that results in changes to a genome.A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence. A mutation in a key gene may cause the cell to die if the protein coded is defective.Recombination is a large scale rearrangement of the DNA molecule. It could happen through exchange of segments of homologous chromosomes during meiosis or by moving a segment from one position to another within a chromosome or between chromosomes.All events that are not deadly may to contribute to the evolution of the genome.Recombination is a processes that results in changes to a genome.A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence.

What is a mutation of a single gene?

by what protocol we can mutate a single gene from leishmania BY ANOTHER PERSON - The answer is POINT mutation.

A mutation caused by a piece of DNA breaking away from its chromosome and becoming attached to a nonhomologous chromosome is called?

This condition is referred to as chromosomal translocation.


How are chromosomal mutations different than DNA mutations?

a gene mutation can be acquired throughout life or it is genetic ex sickle cell anemia chromsome mutations have more pronounced effects and are due to a change in the number of chromosomes or a change in the structural effect that are inherited.. ex downs syndrom

The fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by mutation of the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.


What is the cause of Cri Du Chat syndrome?

Cri du chat is caused during meiosis (the production of sex cells, such as the egg or sperm) when chromosome number 5 is not aligned correctly when separating and part of chromosome number 5 is chipped of, lost, and not repaired correctly or at all. then this cell merges with the other sex cell and a baby with cri du chat is formed


A change in the genetic material of a cell is called?

Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.


What are 4 types of chromosome structural changes?

The four types of alterations of chromosome structure are deletion, duplication, inversion, and reciprocal translocation. Deletion is the loss of one or more nucleotides from a gene by mutation; the loss of a fragment of a chromosome. Duplication is repition of a part of a chromosome resulting from fusion with a fragment froma homologous chromosome. Duplication can result from an error in meiosis or from mutagenesis. Inversion is a change in a chromosomeresulting from reattachment of a chromosome fragment to the original chromosome, but in a reverse direction. Mutagens and errors during mesosis can cause inversions. Translocation is the attachment of a chromosomal fragment to a nonhomologous chromosome.

Does frame shift mutation affect hemophilia?

Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
