A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.
Recessive mutations inactivate the affected gene and lead to a loss of function. For instance, recessive mutations may remove part of or all the gene from the chromosome, disrupt expression of the gene, or alter the structure of the encoded protein, thereby altering its function.
The Scientific method can help resolve problems logically.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A logical and systematic approach that is used for the discovery of working of things in the world is known as Science. The scientific methods are used by the scientists for the purpose of evidences that can be measured and associated with the assumed hypothesis. The result of this method will be either supporting or contradicting to the theory.
The term "science" refers to the knowledge whose base is from some reproducible data. The result is obtained through the process of analysis and testing. It aims in finding solutions to any problem through logic and research.
