How is it possible that some, but not all, mutations get passed from one generation to the next?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Can you explain silent, beneficial, harmful, and lethal mutations?As discussed, the overall rate of mutations in humans is estimated to be about 1 × 10−8 mutations per base pair per generation. How many new mutations would you expect each person to carry, on average, based on this mutation rate? Other studies have estimated that each person carries about 100 new loss-of-function mutations. How does this number compare with your estimate of the number of mutations based on the mutation rate? What might account for any differences?Statistically, are mutations almost always beneficial or harmful? Why?
- A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors. All BUT ONE of the statements below correctly describes or explains genetic mutations. A) Mutation can disrupt normal cell activity and cause diseases, like cancer. B) Mutations in parents' cells are then passed down to offspring via reproduction. C) Our cells can recognise any potentially mutation-causing damage and repair it before it permanent. D) Mutations can occur as the result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, toxins and radiation.Certain mutations are called dominant-negative mutations. What do you think this means and how do you suppose these mutations act?Do mutations always cause negative impacts? Why or why not?
- Which type of mutation doesnt affect the ability of an organism to pass on its alleles to the next generation? a) beneficial mutation b) positve mutation c) deleterious mutation d) neutral mutation I have also attached a question down below. Please let me know if there is are any mistakes as I have a test tomorrowWhat are mutation breeding?Do mutations occur randomly, or are they directed by the environment?
