- What is a mutation? How does a mutation lead to an altered phenotype? Describe two specific types of mutations.arrow_forwardTwo major types of mutations are gene mutation and chromosome mutation. Which mutation is more lethal and why?arrow_forwardWhat is the long term and short term effects of mutation on coding and non-coding DNA, the amount of transposable elements and birth and death of genes? And how does it exert the effect?arrow_forward
- What is the difference Between a silent mutation and a neutral mutation?arrow_forwardDescribe four types of point mutations: transitions,transversions, deletions, and insertions.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between a gain-of-functionmutation and a dominant-negative mutation. Why areboth these types of mutation usually dominant?arrow_forward
- Which natural genetic mechanism is responsible for preventing the expression of genes that are likely to contain nonsense mutations?arrow_forwardCan a harmful mutation-causing genetic disease exist from generation to generation without exhibiting the symptoms of the disease? Explain.arrow_forward(a) How does the duplication of individual genes occur? (b) individual that inherit a genetic condition known as xeroderma pigmentosum exhibit an extreme sensitivity to sunlight exposure and often develop skin cancer by the age of 10. What repair pathway is most likely disrupted as a result of such mutation? Explain why?arrow_forward
- which word describes the majority of permanent genetic mutations?arrow_forwardIn the replica plate experiment, it shows that mutations are random. However, certain environmental stresses (such as high temperature, high salt, and low pH) can increase the mutation rate. QUESTIONS: Does this indicate that mutations are nonrandom, since they increase in response to cell stressors?arrow_forwardWhy is a random mutation more likely to be deleterious than beneficial?arrow_forward
