Question

Consider the types of mutations and the circumstances in which mutations arise to label the TRUE statements below. (Select all that apply.) 16 Check All That Apply a. All mutations are harmful to the organism's genome, b. Mutagens and meiosis are two sources of mutation c. A single-base insertion is usually more harmful than a single-base substitution d. Insertions, but not deletions, can change the codon reading frome. e. Mutations can be useful to the organism.

Answer 1

The reading of a codon can vary due to insertions but not due to deletions. The organism can benefit from mutations.

Environmental factors including UV light (sunlight), nuclear radiation, or specific chemicals can result in mutations. When a cell duplicates their DNA during replication is order to prepare for cell division, mutations can also take place. Environmental organism known as mutagens are what trigger mutations. The reading of a codon can vary due to insertions but not due to deletions. The organism can benefit from mutations.Mutations may occur naturally spontaneously. Errors with DNA replication during cellular division, exposure to mutagens, or viral infection can all cause mutations. Somatic mutations (which happen in body cells) cannot be passed on to children, but germline mutations (which happen in eggs and sperm) may.
