- Why do gene mutations not result in chromosomal mutations?arrow_forwardOne unexpected result of the sequencing of the human genome was the finding that mutations in a single gene can be responsible for multiple distinct disorders. How do you think mutations in a single gene can have such diverse effects?arrow_forwardWhy mutation behaves as a recessive lethal allele ?arrow_forward
- What are Antimorphic mutations ?arrow_forwardWhat percentage of the DNA in the genome actually corresponds to genes? How much is actually protein-coding exons? What makes up the rest?arrow_forwardHow might a point mutation in DNA affect the phenotype. How the genome is expressed in the organism? (Please explain this at the molecular level).arrow_forward
- Which best describes genetic mutations? A) Genetic mutations that cause diseases are always passed on to offspring. B) Some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring. C) Different genetic mutations cause few forms of cancer. D) Somatic mutations can be inherited from parents or acquired during life.arrow_forwardCertain mutations are called dominant-negative mutations. What do you think this means and how do you suppose these mutations act?arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forward
