What affects do mulation have?check all that apply

Answer:

Harmful mutations may cause genetic disorders or cancer. A genetic disorder is a disease caused by a mutation in one or a few genes. A human example is cystic fibrosis. A mutation in a single gene causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and blocks ducts in digestive organs.

Mutations arise spontaneously at low frequency owing to the chemical instability of purine and pyrimidine bases and to errors during DNA replication. Natural exposure of an organism to certain environmental factors, such as ultraviolet light and chemical carcinogens (e.g., aflatoxin B1), also can cause mutations.

only a small percentage of mutations cause genetic disorders—most have no impact on health or development. For example, some mutations alter a gene's DNA sequence but do not change the function of the protein made by the gene.

What is the most effective way to deal with violence based on hate?
Ne4ueva [31]
<span> the most effective way to deal with violence based on hate is education.
Most people hate something that they don't understand.
for example, most people hate rich people not becuase their richnes, but because deep down they wanted to obtain the same amount of wealth as them but they don't know how. Education will bring us to a newer perspective which led us to have fewer tendency toward violence
