Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. A birth census of a specific country revealed that of 1.6 million birth

s that year, 16 children were born with achondroplasia who had normal parents. At that time, there were 140 people with achondroplasia already living in the population of 20 million. What is the mutation rate for achondroplasia in this population?

What are some possible consequences of a mutation? Give a specific example for each consequence you list.
Tju [1.3M]
Since all cells in our body contain DNA, there are lots of places for mutations to occur; however, some mutations cannot be passed on to offspring and do not matter for evolution. Somatic mutations<span> occur in non-reproductive cells and won't be passed onto offspring. For example, the golden color on half of this Red Delicious apple was caused by a somatic mutation. Its seeds will not carry the mutation.
</span>

A single germ line mutation can have a range of effects:

<span><span>No change occurs in phenotype.
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.</span><span>Small change occurs in phenotype.
A single mutation caused this cat's ears to curl backwards slightly.</span><span>Big change occurs in phenotype.
Some really important phenotypic changes, like DDT resistance in insects are sometimes caused by single mutations. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects for the organism. Mutations that cause the death of an organism are called lethals — and it doesn't get more negative than that.</span></span>
