If our hemoglobin gene is normal, the hemoglobin protein works fine. But if the instuctions in that gene are changed, or "mutated,"changes in the hemoglobin protein could result. One such mutation causes a disorder called sickle cell anemia.

What is it called when DNA is changed or altered?
a mutation
What is one or two nucleotides that are changed in a certain mutation?
If you are looking for the term of this mutation, then the answer is point mutation.
What type of mutation is likely to have the least effect on an organism?
A silent mutation has the least effect on an organism. It is when the codon is changed to the same amino acid.
Is breast cancer chromosomal mutation or gene mutation?
First of all, chromosomal mutations are gene mutations. Chromosomes can be thought of as lists of instructions for your cells to build life essential proteins and other basic functions. A chromosomal mutation occurs when a portion of a chromosome is changed in some way. A portion may be removed, flipped, or part of another chromosome may be inserted. In many cases this will have no effect on cell function, as the mutation occurred in an ignored portion of the chromosome. In most cases where the mutation occurs in an important portion of the chromosome, the cell simply dies. Cancer occurs when the mutation, instead of killing the cell, causes the cell to multiply, and consume body resources more faster than normal cells, overwhelming them.

How can port no can be changed for telnet in Windows Vista?
Windows Vista does not provide a Telnet server. The instructions on how to change the port the server runs on will vary by software package. Without knowing what package you are using to provide Telnet, we can't provide instructions on how to configure it.
