to enable mutation in adapting the host to its changing environments, and so keep up with natuaral selection. A mutation of a gene is a gene that is expressed differently from the majority of the species. Some mutations are harmful; ie: cancer, and some are helpful whilst others are niether harmful nor beneficial (ie: the gene for ginger hair).

What is a dominant from of an alleles?
The dominant form is usually the unmutated wild type that still has a function. The recessive is generally the mutated gene and typically corresponds to loss of function of the gene.
What is the new mRNA stand produced by this mutated gene?
The specific sequence of the new mRNA strand produced by a mutated gene will depend on the nature of the mutation. Mutations can cause changes in the coding region of the gene, leading to alterations in the mRNA sequence and potentially affecting the resulting protein or gene function. Further analysis and sequencing of the mutated gene would be required to determine the exact mRNA sequence.
What does it mean by a gene being mutated?
A mutated gene is a gene that has undergone a change in its DNA sequence. This change can alter the function of the gene, affecting how proteins are made or regulated, which can lead to differences in traits or diseases.
What do you call a mutated gene?
A mutated gene is commonly referred to as a "mutation." Mutations can occur in various forms, such as point mutations, insertions, deletions, or duplications, and they can affect the gene's function. Depending on the nature and impact of the mutation, it may lead to changes in an organism's traits or contribute to genetic disorders.
What is a changed gene?
mutated
What most mutated genes are which cause human disorders?
A mutated gene is just a gene that doesn't have the correct DNA or alleles.. Depending of the human disorder the gene that is mutated will be different... We use genes throughout our bodies but ALL genes can cause human disorders but there is NO single gene that, when mutated, creates ALL genetic modification...
What permanent change in the sequence of DNA in a gene is a?
Basically change in the DNA sequence of a gene is associated with change in the nucleotide sequence which may result in Mutation and may cause loss of function of that particular mutated gene.
Why are most mutations in eukaryotes recessive?
Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that the mutated gene is only expressed when both copies of the gene are mutated, resulting in a recessive trait.
How can mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
What is muteins?
protein that is a product of expression of a gene that was mutated.
What can cause a mutated gene?
# UV light # carcinogenics # heat # viruses
What is the new mRNA strand produced by a mutated gene?
The new mRNA strand produced by a mutated gene may contain errors in the sequence due to a change in the gene's DNA sequence. This can lead to changes in the resulting protein, affecting its structure or function. Mutations can range from single nucleotide changes to large deletions or insertions, altering the mRNA sequence accordingly.
