Why people are born?
Congenital deformities are often the result of genetic mutations in the womb, which in turn have a wide range of causes (including smoking, breathing in secondhand smoke, and exposure to radiation). You can read more about genetic mutations at http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/mutationsanddisorders/genemutation.
What causes genetic mutations?
Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequences in a genome. Most often, these minor mistaks are corrected by in-built repair mechanisms and many mutations go unnoticed an are not harmful. Harmful mutations cause diseases in many cases. There are several factors that promote the formation of mutations. These factors are called mutagenic agents. Mutagenic agents are divided into: chemical and physical mutagens. UV radiation is an example of a physical mutagen and Nitrous acid is an expample of a chemical mutagen
What causes mutations?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking
How does smoking cigarettes increase one's risk for developing cancer by up to what extent?
Smoking cigarettes increases the risk of developing cancer by damaging the cells in the body and causing mutations in their DNA. This can lead to the uncontrolled growth of cells, which is a hallmark of cancer. Smoking can increase the risk of developing cancer by up to 20 times compared to non-smokers.
Are all mutations bad.?
No not all mutations are bad there are good mutations and bad mutations
How do you spell mutations?
mutations
Why is lung cancer caused from smoking not passed to children?
Lung cancer caused by smoking is not hereditary, as it results from the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoke on lung cells rather than genetic transmission. While smoking can lead to mutations in the smoker's DNA, these changes are not passed on to offspring. Children may inherit a predisposition to certain cancers, but the direct cause of lung cancer from smoking is environmental and lifestyle-related, not genetic. Thus, children are not at risk of inheriting lung cancer from a parent's smoking habits.
What two types of chromosomal mutations?
Two are insertion mutations and deletion mutations.
Describe how gene mutations affect protein production.?
gene mutations can affect protein production through various mutations as nonsense mutations are any genetic mutation that leads to the RNA sequence becoming a stop codon. missense mutations are mutations that changes an amino acid from one to another. Slient mutations are mutations that dont affect the protein at all.
When was The Mutations created?
The Mutations was created in 1974.
Can mutations be predicted?
No, Mutations can not be predicted and have no numeral order. Mutations are totally random AND MAY NOT BE PREDICTED!
Mutations that occur at random are called?
Mutations that occur at random are called spontaneous mutations.
