Which of the following has an impact on the rate at which mutations occur in cells? (Choose All That Apply) the magnitude of an environmental change the number of times DNA is replicated the size of the genome of an organism the frequency of cell division
Which of the following statements about mutations are true? * Mutations are always passed down to future generations. Mutations decrease the genetic diversity of organisms. Mutations occur only in somatic cells since they are diploid. Mutations are changes in the phosphate backbone of DNA which always have harmful effects. Mutations always cause a frameshift. Mutations can be harmful, neutral, or beneficial to the organism. Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule. Mutations may cause a change in the protein sequence resulting from the genetic code for that gene.

Which of the following statements best describes the effect of mutations in DNA? A Mutations result in changes that can be positive, be negative, or have no consequences B Mutations result in changes that always have negative consequences C Mutations result in changes that cannot be detected unless it is revealed by genetic screening D Mutations result in changes that have no consequences
Which of the following best describes a characteristic of DNA that makes it useful as hereditary material? Nucleotide bases can be randomly replaced with different nucleotide bases to increase variation. The nucleotide bases can also be used to provide the energy needed for reproduction. Nucleotide bases in one strand can only be paired with specific bases in the other strand. There are many different types of nucleotide bases that can be incorporated into DNA.
When DNA is copied, sometimes a mutation occurs where an incorrect, base pairing appears within the structure of a DNA molecule replacing original base pairs. This mistake is called a mutation. Deletion Insertion Point (Substitution) Duplication

Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in a gene resulting in changes to a protein that regulates the movement of salt in and out of cells. The result is thick, sticky mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. Which application of genetic engineering is a promising treatment for cystic fibrosis? O Gene therapy. DNA recombination. OGel electrophoresis. DNA fingerprinting.
The structure of DNA is not permanent. It changes constantly. Enzymes such as DNA polymerase repair many changes immediately, but many are missed and not repaired. A permanent genetic change is called a mutation. But are all mutations bad? Is there a type of mutation that may provide an advantageous to an organism. Explain how mutations can benefit an organism. Provide an example. Identify the organism and describe the mutation by identifying the location and type of mutation.
