Explain in your own words what the statement "mutations occur randomly" means
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.

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
A researcher studies a mutation that occurs in humans and writes four facts about the mutation in a chart. 1. The mutation is caused as a result of chance. 2. The mutation leads to a genetic disease. 3. The mutation occurs in sperm cells and is passed to the next generation. 4. The mutation is not discovered or fixed by the cell's enzymes. Based on the information, the researcher concludes that the mutation is harmful. Which statement best supports the researcher's conclusion? O statement 1 O statement 2 O statement 3 O statement 4 hp
You are going to participate in a debate on the issue of genetic engineering. One side must present legal, scientific, and moral issues for the limited use of this science; the other side will support unrestricted use of the technology.
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.
One of the key discoveries Avery's work contributed to the discovery of the genetic material was that enzymes that break down DNA made the tranforming principle inactive. Enzymes that break down proteins or RNA had no effect on the transforming material. True False
