Why is it unlikely that any particular mutation would have any noticeable effect in a population?
Most mutations are neutral or have very subtle effects that do not impact the organism's fitness. Additionally, mutations occur randomly and most do not occur in important genes or regulatory regions. Lastly, natural selection works to remove deleterious mutations from a population over time.

Why are some types of mutation inherited?
If a mutation happens, it will be helpful, harmful or neutral. Whether they are passed on to offspring depends on several things.Obviously, whether the organism gets a chance to reproduce.Whether the organism manages to survive long enough to reproduce, which it is unlikely to do if the mutation is harmful.Whether the gametes which are successful in the process of fertilization happen to contain that gene.
Which mutation cannot occur in a tRNA encoding gene?
A mutation that changes the start codon of a tRNA gene is unlikely to occur, as that could prevent proper translation of the tRNA. Mutations that disrupt critical structural elements such as the anticodon loop or the acceptor stem are also less likely, as they would affect the tRNA's functionality.
Why is mutation in and of itself not evolution?
A mutation changes the DNA of an organism in a way that affects its offspring, either immediately or several generations down the line.The change brought about by a mutation is either beneficial, harmful or neutral.If the change is harmful, then it is unlikely that the offspring will survive to reproduce, so the mutation dies out and goes nowhere.If the change is beneficial, which is a rare occurrence, then it is likely that the offspring will do better than other offspring and so will reproduce more.Once the mutation has manifested itself for the better in the offspring, through natural selection the offspring will mate more and create a new generation with the same manifested mutation. Only at this point can we say that the species has evolved since not all mutations are fruitful and create a new generation with better or different characteristics. In fact most mutations are harmful and thus do not evolve which is why the process of evolution is very slow.
What happens when you pour soda filled with cafffeine on a piece of meat?
I just did a science project on it today. It depends on what type of meat and soda you use. But most sodas dis-color or dissolve the meat. It is very nasty, and I cant see how people cook this way! It also separates the fat from the meat.
Can humans survive during a pole shift?
There is no exact answer, because it is not known how abruptly it could happen or how much damage it could do. An abrupt pole shift has not happened in earth's history and is very unlikely in the future. Pole shifts do happen, but are not devastating at all and are barely noticeable.
Can a person pass their mutation to their child?
possible but unlikely
What does a point mutation cause?
A point mutation is when a single nucleotide switches from G to C or from A to T, or when a single nucleotide is deleted or inserted. It's unlikely for any single mutation to have a significant effect, but the effects that could occur could be anything, ranging from eliminating or altering protein synthesis of a particular protein to altering the regulatory function of a stretch of DNA and thereby affecting the embryological development of an organism.
Can an O positive parent have a b negative child?
It is possible (by spontaneous mutation, for example) but unlikely.

When a horse will have 6 legs?
It is doubtful that a horse will ever have six legs. It may happen through a malformation or mutation but it is unlikely.
Can dogs eat hard boiled eggs?
It is unlikely. Eggs tend to firm up stool instead of causing diarrhoea, although an egg given as a treat on occasion is unlikely to have any noticeable effects on the dog.

Do droughts make animals extinct?
Droughts may severely impact the population of a species in a particular place, but it unlikely that a drought alone could wipe out an entire species, unless that species was geographically restricted for some reason.
Is Cancer being used for population control?
Quite unlikely. It is far to indiscreet.
Population growth in the 1500's in Maryland?
Unlikely because European diseases had not yet arrived.
A chance mutation causes a cheetah to be born with very short front limbs What will be the most likely result of this mutation?
The cheetah with short front limbs is unlikely to survive in the wild as it depends on its speed and agility to catch prey. If in captivity, it may require special care and accommodations to ensure its well-being. The mutation may not be passed on to future generations unless the cheetah is able to reproduce and the trait is inherited.
What is the hip-bone of a python an example of?
It is an example of something that doesn't exist. Or it could be an infinity unlikely retro mutation related to re-expression of the HOX gene pattern found in python's ancient ancestors, the lizards.
