What are examples of harmful mutations in human?

Answer 1

Mad Max, the first movie of the Mad Max franchise, is a 1979 Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller and written by Miller and Byron Kennedy. The film, starring the then-little-known Mel Gibson, was released internationally in 1980. Its narrative based around the traditional western genre, Mad Max tells a story of breakdown of society, murder and vengeance. It became a top-grossing Australian film and has been credited for further opening up the global market to Australian New Wave films. The movie was also notable for being the first Australian film to be shot with a widescreen anamorphic lens.

It has had a lasting influence on apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction ever since. The film spawned two sequels Mad Max 2 in 1981 and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. A feature film sequel and video game tie-in are currently in pre-production.

Answer 2

Examples of harmful mutations in humans include those that lead to genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington's disease. These mutations can cause various health problems and impact an individual's quality of life.

Answer 3

like in sickle-cell anemia, when the bases coding for hemoglobin are mutated, and so the protein becomes hydrophobic, so it tends to clump together. If all of your red blood cells are sickle shaped, it's almost certain to fatal and results in death.

Answer 4

One example of a harmful mutation is an animal's different coloring than others in its species. If a deer was albino, it would have a much harder time blending in, escaping predators and most likely have trouble finding a mate.

Answer 5

When cabbages mutated into cauliflowers, they would have died if people thought they tasted nice (can't imagine why).

The thing is, cauliflowers have flowers that don't open properly. As a result, they would've died out centuries ago as insects can't pollinate them. As mutations go, that one is pretty bad.

Answer 6

Examples of harmful mutations would be Huntington's, Sickle Cell Anemia, and Cystic Fibrosis. Examples of beneficial mutations would be the black moths in London and antibiotic resistance of bacteria.

Answer 7

An example would be if there's a type of animal that it's food source is high up, so it would need a longer neck. Lets say that the whole population has long necks. a harmful mutation would be an animal of the same species being born with a shorter neck disabling it to eat.

Answer 8

The most common is Cancer, heart stroke, Heart disease and lung cancer

Answer 9

Some harmful genetic disorders caused by genetic mutations include sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, and cystic fibrosis.

Answer 10

Down syndrome
