There are four different types of chromosomal mutations: Deletions, Translocations, Duplications and Inversions
What else can I help you with?
Which mutation is the most dangerous?
There is no definite answer to this question many types of mutations can cause death and I'd say that's the most dangerous effect of a mutation. Large Scale mutations, like deletions or amplifications, usually cause the most damage because they effect whole chromosomes. Small Scale mutations are usually less dangerous because they only effect one gene. The worst small scale mutations are insertions and deletions because they change the reading frame. In my personal opinion, harmful mutations that occur in the tumor suppressor genes are the most dangerous because they are what prevent the mutations in cell from being duplicated and without them working a mutated cell can replicate uncontrollably.
How many genetic disorders are there?
There are thousands of known genetic disorders, estimated to be around 6,000-8,000. These disorders can range from single-gene mutations, to chromosomal abnormalities, to multifactorial disorders influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Many genetic disorders are rare, affecting less than 1 in 2,000 individuals.
How many types of animal tissue?
there are four different types of plant tissue. im not sure what they are but i know that there is four....im pretty sure. haha ---- Yes there is four, and i if you want to know what they are and what they do go to my wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deo_Favente -------------------------------------------------------------- The four different types of plant tissue include Ground Tissue, Meristematic Tissue, Dermal Tissue, and Vascular Tissue.
Are all mutations lethal?
no
What is the causes of chromosomal disorder?
Chromosomal disorders can be caused by errors in cell division during meiosis or mitosis, exposure to certain environmental factors, such as radiation or chemicals, or by inheriting abnormal chromosomes from parents. These disorders can result in missing, extra, or scrambled genetic information, leading to a variety of physical and developmental abnormalities.
What are four-types of chromosomal mutations?
Four Types of Chromosomal Mutations include-Duplication-Translocation-Inversion-Deletion
What two types of chromosomal mutations?
Two are insertion mutations and deletion mutations.
What are 4 type of mutation?
Four types of chromosomal mutations include substitution, insertion, deletion, and frame shift. These mutations can be either positive of negative to the organism.
What are four types of chromosomal mutations?
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
Are asbestos considered a chemical mutagen responsible for chromosomal mutations?
Yes, asbestos is considered a chemical mutagen that can cause chromosomal mutations. Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to DNA damage, chromosomal alterations, and mutations in cells, increasing the risk of developing cancer.
What are three types of chromosomal mutations?
Insertion, Deletion and Frameshift mutation. These are the 3 basic types of mutation, however, there are other types of mutations: substitution, translocation, duplication, inversion, transversion and transition.
What are 2 types of mutaions?
Two types of mutations are point mutations, which involve changes to a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, and chromosomal mutations, which involve changes to larger segments of DNA such as deletions, duplications, inversions, or translocations.
Name 2 major types of mutation?
i] spontaneous mutation ii] induced mutation iii] germinal mutation iv] somatic mutation v] chromosomal mutation vi] gene mutation are the some of the major types of mutation......
What are four of chromosomal mutation?
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
Name two major types of mutations What do they have in common How are they different Give an example of each?
Gene and chromosomal; both change DNA sequence that affects genetic information. Gene mutations involve a change in one ore several nucleotides in a single gene, whereas chromosomal mutations involve changes in the number or structure of whole chromosomes
Are chromosomal mutations more common in plants or animal?
chromosomal mutations can happen in any organism, but they are specially common in plants. Edited answer: Chromosomal mutations are more common in plants because plants remain seated at one place receiving all short of radiations and temperature range.
What are 3 types of mutations and what do they do?
The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.
