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

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. These mutations can arise from errors during DNA replication, exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, or other natural causes.


What are the various kinds of mutations?

There are several types of mutations, including point mutations (substitutions, insertions, deletions), frameshift mutations (insertions or deletions that disrupt the reading frame), silent mutations (do not result in amino acid change), missense mutations (result in a different amino acid), and nonsense mutations (create a premature stop codon).


Are chromosomes bad for mutations?

No. But they are necessary for mutations to arise. Likewise, they are also necessary in order for mutations not to arise.
