What is a gene mutation and how do mutations occur? Genetic changes that are described as de novo (new) mutations can be either hereditary or somatic. In some cases, the mutation occurs in a person’s egg or sperm cell but is not present in any of the person’s other cells. In other cases, the mutation occurs in the fertilized egg shortly after the egg and sperm cells unite.

How Chromosome Mutations Occur A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome. These changes are most often brought on by problems that occur during meiosis (cell division process of gametes) or by mutagens (chemicals, radiation, etc.). Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome.

DNA Mutations - Types and Examples DNA mutations happen when there are changes in the nucleotide sequence that makes up the strand of DNA. This can be caused by random mistakes in DNA replication or even an environmental influence like UV rays or chemicals.

How Do Genetic Mutations Occur A genetic mutation occurs when the DNA sequence of a gene is altered permanently. This can cause the cell to act differently than it is suppose to. As the cell divides and creates new cells each of these cells now has the error.

- Spontaneous mutations can be generated by different processes. Replication errors and spontaneous lesions generate most of the base-substitution and frameshift mutations. Replication errors may also cause some deletions that occur in the absence of mutagenic treatment.

How Chromosome Mutations Occur Duplications and breakages of chromosomes are responsible for a type of chromosome mutation that alters chromosome structure. 1  These changes affect protein production by changing the genes on the chromosome. Chromosome structure changes are often harmful to an individual leading to developmental difficulties and even death.

How Chromosome Mutations Occur A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome. These changes are most often brought on by problems that occur during meiosis (cell division process of gametes) or by mutagens (chemicals, radiation, etc.). Deletion: This mutation results from the breakage of a chromosome in which the genetic material becomes lost during cell division. 2  The genetic material can break off from anywhere on the chromosome.

DNA Is Constantly Changing through the Process of Mutation Somatic mutations take place in non-reproductive cells. Many kinds of somatic mutations have no obvious effect on an organism, because genetically normal body cells are able to compensate for the mutated cells. Nonetheless, certain other mutations can greatly impact the life and function of an organism.

- Confidence votes 667. A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein.

- Spontaneous mutations. Spontaneous mutations arise from a variety of sources, including errors in DNA replication, spontaneous lesions, and transposable genetic elements.

Point mutation A point mutation, or single base modification, is a type of mutation that causes a single nucleotide base change, insertion, or deletion of the genetic material, DNA or RNA.The term frameshift mutation indicates the addition or deletion of a base pair.oint mutations usually take place during DNA replication. DNA replication occurs when one double-stranded DNA molecule creates two single strands of DNA, each of which is a template for the creation of the complementary strand. A single point mutation can change the whole DNA sequence.

Mutations Causes of Mutations. Mistakes in the process of DNA replication can cause spontaneous mutations to occur. The error rate of DNA polymerase is one incorrect base per billion base pairs replicated. Exposure to mutagens can cause induced mutations, which are various types of chemical agents or radiation (Table 1).

How Do Genetic Mutations Occur A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. Genetic mutations are those that are passed on from a parent to a child and through families or are acquired during a person’s lifetime. If it is a hereditary mutation the damage to the cell in the parent is passed on through their DNA to their child.

What is a gene mutation and how do mutations occur? A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people.Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.cquired (or somatic) mutations occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body. These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if a mistake is made as DNA copies itself during cell division.

Effects of the different types of DNA mutations on protein sequence This mutation occurs when insertions and deletions alter a gene so that its message is no longer correctly parsed. Effects are one of the following: 1) No effect if the mutated codon still codes for the same amino acid. 2) It can result in the protein having one different amino acid.

What is a gene mutation and how do mutations occur? De novo mutations may explain genetic disorders in which an affected child has a mutation in every cell in the body but the parents do not, and there is no family history of the disorder.n some cases, the mutation occurs in a person’s egg or sperm cell but is not present in any of the person’s other cells. In other cases, the mutation occurs in the fertilized egg shortly after the egg and sperm cells unite.

- Barked: Mon Sep 14, '09 9:27pm PST. So this is random and kinda invasive but I was wondering how many times a day your dog should poop. Dessie only does once. Awhile back I remember talking with a vet tech and had mentioned that she only pooped once a day and she flipped out saying that it was unhealthy.t depends on their food/how many times a day they eat as well. if they are on a food full of corn, they will go more times a day, but if they are on a better food they will go less and have better poops. and if they eat twice a day, they will normally go twice.

How Gene Mutation Works Mutations can also occur in which nucleotide base pairs are inserted into or deleted from the original gene sequence. This type of gene mutation is dangerous because it alters the template from which amino acids are read. Nonsense Mutation: This type of mutation alters the nucleotide sequence so that a stop codon is coded for in place of an amino acid. 2  A stop codon signals the end of the translation process and stops protein production.

Missense Mutation: Definition & Example A missense mutation occurs when one DNA nucleotide is changed so that a different amino acid is inserted into a protein. Nucleotides are the repeating units of a DNA sequence. There are four nucleotides, each with different nitrogenous bases: thymine (T), adenine (A), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).

DNA Is Constantly Changing through the Process of Mutation Germ-line mutations occur in gametes or in cells that eventually produce gametes. In contrast with somatic mutations, germ-line mutations are passed on to an organism's progeny. As a result, future generations of organisms will carry the mutation in all of their cells (both somatic and germ-line).nsertions and deletions are two other types of mutations that can affect cells at the gene level. An insertion mutation occurs when an extra nucleotide is added to the DNA strand during replication.
