∙ 14y ago
A mutation is a permanent change in the gene or chromosome of a cell that can result in altered characteristics or function. Mutations can arise spontaneously during cell division or in response to external factors such as radiation or chemicals. These changes can be inherited or occur randomly in somatic cells.

What does the bacterial cell reproduce that the human gene codes for?
the bacterial cell reproduces the bacterial chromosome that the human gene codes for.
What is a chromosomal mutation?
A chromosomal mutation is a change in the structure or number of a chromosome. This can involve rearrangements, deletions, duplications, or inversions of genetic material within a chromosome. These mutations can lead to genetic disorders or affect an individual's development and health.
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
What is change in a chromosome involving reversal of a fragment of the chromosome?
A chromosome inversion is a type of structural change in a chromosome where a segment of DNA is reversed in orientation. This can lead to disruptions in gene expression and potential issues during cell division. Inversions can be balanced or unbalanced, depending on whether there is a loss or gain of genetic material.
Is the smallest gene cell chromosome?
Chromosome 21 is the smallest human chromosome. Inside of the chromosome, there are 48 billion nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA.
What is any permanent change in a gene or a chromosome change?
Mutation
What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?
A mutation is the term for any permanent change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to certain environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).

How are characteristics passed?
Characteristics are passed down from parents to offspring through genetic material, such as DNA. Offspring inherit a combination of traits from both parents, resulting in a unique set of characteristics that define the individual. Genes determine specific traits, such as hair color, eye color, and height, which are passed from one generation to the next.
