13 Νοε 2022 · Silent mutations are mutations that arise when a single DNA nucleotide alteration inside a protein-coding region of a gene does not affect the amino acid sequence that makes up the gene’s protein. A mutation occurs when the DNA sequence of an organism changes.
The types of mutations include: Silent mutation: Silent mutations cause a change in the sequence of bases in a DNA molecule, but do not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)).
27 Φεβ 2024 · Genetic mutations are the instrument by which nature adds new variations to life. If the mutations give rise to advantageous traits, they get passed down through successive generations and can spread throughout the entire population of a species.
30 Νοε 2023 · Gene Mutations. A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of base pairs in a DNA molecule that may result in an altered polypeptide. Mutations occur continuously and spontaneously. Errors in the DNA often occur during DNA replication.
If they increase an organism’s chances of surviving or reproducing, the mutations are likely to become more common over time. There are several well-known examples of beneficial mutations. Here are just two: Mutations have occurred in bacteria that allow the bacteria to survive in the presence of antibiotic drugs.

Somatic Mutations: Acquired mutations in non-germline cells; often associated with cancer. Examples of Diseases: Cystic Fibrosis: Caused by a deletion mutation in the CFTR gene.
Mutation creates slightly different versions of the same genes, called alleles. These small differences in DNA sequence make every individual unique. They account for the variation we see in human hair color, skin color, height, shape, behavior, and susceptibility to disease.
