Mutations are changes 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.

They increase the genetic variation within a species because they can create entirely new alleles in a population, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

Does mRNA model more closely resemble the DNA strand from which it was transcribed?
Bond [772]

Answer: No, mRNA ( messenger RNA) model does not closely resemble the DNA strand from which it is transcribed.

This is because mRNA strand is complementary to the strand of DNA template that is used in its synthesis during the process called transcription. The polarity of DNA template is 3' to 5' whereas that of mRNA transcribed is 5' to 3' that is both the strands have antiparallel polarity.

This is the reason template DNA is referred antisense. mRNA strand more closely resembles the sense strand ( which is complementary strand of DNA template in a double helix).
