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 mutation affects an organism's offspring?
A genetic mutation is a change in an organism's DNA sequence that can be passed on to its offspring and affect their traits or characteristics. Mutations can occur spontaneously during DNA replication, or they can be triggered by external factors like radiation or chemicals.
How can mutation in a gene affect the traits that an organism has?
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
How mutation can affect in another mutant?
A mutant can be mutated just as any other life form.
If a strand of DNA with the sequence TGA mutated to GCA would it be a silent or missense mutation?
Both a silent and missense mutation is a change in one nucleotide. However, a silent mutation still codes for the same amino acid, but a missense mutation codes for a different amino acid. This means that a silent mutation will have no affect on the resulting protein, but a missense mutation will. Still, it is not guaranteed that a a missense mutation will result in a disfunction of created protein, as long as it is not occurring in the activation site.
How a mutation may not affect an organisms traits?
A mutation does not affect an organism trait for a reason. It is neutral which depends on the environment.
What is a tigers offsping?
Cub
What mutation most likely can affect a cow offspring?
A mutation in egg cells
How mutation can affect a gene?
it changes it
What type of mutation will affect the largest number of proteins produces by an organism?
Chromosomal mutation
What is offsping?
If you mean offspring, it is our children.
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.
How does a mutation in a cell affect an organism?
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
How does a mutation in a sex differ from a from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell, such as a sperm or egg cell, can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations. In contrast, a mutation in a non-sex cell will only affect the individual and is not passed on to offspring.
Who does somatic mutation affect?
Somatic mutation affects the individual in which the mutation occurs. These mutations are not passed on to future generations as they do not affect the germline cells. Somatic mutations can contribute to diseases such as cancer.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
