Explain mutations and how they can cause genetic disease
nadya68 [22]
Answer:

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals
called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.

Mutation has been the source of many Hollywood movies, but it's really a simple process of a mistake made in a DNA sequence as it's being copied. Some of that's just the background noise that DNA copying is not perfect, and we should be glad of that or evolution couldn't operate. But mutation can also be induced by things like radiation or carcinogens in a way that can increase the risk of cancers or birth defects. But it's pretty simple; it's basically an induced misspelling of the DNA sequence.
That's a mutation.


When a variant alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a health condition. A condition caused by variants in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene variants are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth.

Which of the two tests would likely produce more false negatives with a shorter incubation time?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: A short incubation time runs the risk of a false negative on the VP test, since not enough time may have elapsed to produce an adequate amount of acetoin to give a positive result. The pH change associated with mixed acid fermentation occurs fairly quickly and is less likely to be affected by shorter incubation.

b) The VP test would benefit most from a longer incubation time because it takes a while for the 2,3-butanodiol to be produced.
