Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial.
The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.
Hope this helped :)
False. I don’t know how to explain it
Answer:
Explanation:
One of the functions of the muscle is the storage of amino acids which can be used for energy production when demands are high or for protein synthesis. But during muscle atrophy, this function becomes reduced which could lead to the particularly muscle been unable to stretch or contract due to weakness, it could also lead to the imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation.
DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. Methylation can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence. When located in a gene promoter, DNA methylation typically acts to repress gene transcription.
