Why would a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection?

Biology

Mashcka [7]1 year ago
5 0

When a somatic cell is mutated, none of the other cells in the organism mutate with it. Screenings usually detect mutations that are in numerous cells and not in just one. That is why a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection.

<h3>What are mutations?</h3>

A mutation in biology is an adjustment to the nucleic acid sequence of an organism's, virus's, or extrachromosomal DNA. DNA or RNA can be found in the viral genome. Errors in DNA replication, viral replication, mitosis, meiosis, or other types of DNA damage (such as pyrimidine dimers from exposure to ultraviolet radiation) can result in mutations.

These errors can then lead to error-prone repairs, particularly microhomology-mediated end joining, error-causing repairs, or errors during replication. Due to mobile genetic elements, mutations can also result from the insertion or deletion of DNA segment.

If brine shrimp eggs were transported on shorebirds feet from a hyper saline lake into a less salty one
blagie [28]
<span> If the Brine Shrimp eggs were transported from a hyper saline lake from a less salty like, they would most likely go into their dormant state and become cyst-like since they are adapted to the salinity levels of their previous environment. In turn, they would not be able to hatch, and then later on, reproduce, in order to expand their population and continue their species. </span>
