Imagine copying a transcript by hand in a driving car. Every letter, every sequence of letters, must be correct, but because of the disruption in a moving car causes your hand to move, you might make a mistake. This is what happens to our DNA when it eventually replicates, required for cell replacement/division. What causes this mistake; mutagens like radiation (UV, gamma), viruses, chemicals (tobacco), etc. Some people are genetically more at risk than others.
What else can I help you with?
Changes in DNA are called mutations?
That's correct. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can result from errors during DNA replication, exposure to mutagens, or other environmental factors. Mutations can have various effects, ranging from no impact to influencing an organism's traits or health.
Mutations are changes in?
changes in DNA
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 are known as gene mutations and occur at a single point in the DNA sequence?
Gene mutations that occur at a single point in the DNA sequence are called point mutations. These mutations can involve substitutions of one nucleotide for another (missense mutation), insertion of an extra nucleotide (insertion mutation), or deletion of a nucleotide (deletion mutation). Point mutations can have various effects on the resulting protein, ranging from no impact to severe functional changes.
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations

How does polymerase prevent mutations?
It checks DNA for errors during replication.
What is a source of genetic variation that refers to a random error in the genetic code?
Mutations involve changes in the DNA code.
Changes in DNA is called?
mutations
Mutations are changes in?
changes in DNA
How can mutations cause genetic mutations in spite of your body's DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
Mistakes in the DNA are called?
for Plato it isn't A or B the answer is D
What is one way that can occur in a DNA sequence?
Mutations (point mutations, inversions, translocations...) cause changes in DNA Simply stated, a mistake made while DNA copies causes changes in DNA.
