What happens if your DNA has a mutation? What types of things can cause mutations?
serious [3.7K]
Answer:
A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time. Mutations can also occur as the result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, sunlight and radiation. Often cells can recognize any potentially mutation-causing damage and repair it before it becomes a fixed mutation.

Mutations contribute to genetic variation within species. Mutations can also be inherited, particularly if they have a positive effect. For example, the disorder sickle cell anaemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that instructs the building of a protein called hemoglobin. This causes the red blood cells to become an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape. However, in African populations, having this mutation also protects against malaria.

However, mutation can also disrupt normal gene activity and cause diseases, like cancer. Cancer is the most common human genetic disease; it is caused by mutations occurring in a number of growth-controlling genes. Sometimes faulty, cancer-causing genes can exist from birth, increasing a person’s chance of getting cancer.

When the lateral hypothalamus is destroyed, animals will _____?
Blababa [14]
When the lateral hypothalamus is destroyed, animals will stop eating and should fed forcefully. The hypothalamus contains two portions that would function to control eating and hunger. It is the Ventromedial Nuclei that is responsible for signalling when to stop eating while the lateral hypothalamus signals when to start eating. When this part is damaged, it is clear that the body could not feel or know when to eat. This part of the hypothalamus consists of primary orexinergic nucleus that is projected over the nervous system. These neurons aids in a number of physical and cognitive processes like feeding behavior.
