What is an example of a good effect from a mutation?
Well a Silent Mutation does not affect anything so it isn't bad so its a good mutation.
What is the result of mutation during of meiosis?
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
Explain how a mutation could have no effect on the organism?
It can have absolutely no affect, a bad affect, or even a good affect.*Deletion and Addition are frameshift: most harmful.
What could be a good effective a mutation?
More varity in a population
What effect does a mutation have on DNA and proteins?
It will change the order of bases:) could cause diseases such as; Cystic Fibrosis
Why does a mutation in a sex cell have potential for great effect?
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to your offspring and to their offspring as well. Therefore, its effect is greater than that of a somatic mutation.
Is a mutation deleterious?
A deleterious mutation has a negative effect on the phenotype, and thus decreases the fitness of the organism. (A harmful mutation)
What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?
A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.
What is potential impact mutation?
No one knows what effect a mutation may have. Most are not viable.
What is an example of a good or bad mutation?
A good mutation is BACTERIAL FLAGELLA. A bad mutation is DOWN SINDRAM
What type of mutation is likely to have the least effect on an organism?
A silent mutation has the least effect on an organism. It is when the codon is changed to the same amino acid.
How does genetic mutation effect the process of evolution?
If a particular mutation occurs in nature and proves to be beneficial, it can change the entire species to begin to have the same mutation and thus the same good trait. A creature with a mutation that say, gives it a longer tail (and chicks dig a long tail) than he will mate and that mutation will allow his genes to pass on.
