Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

Another geologic event that may occur in the dark shaded area on the map is wildfire. The dark shaded area as shown in the map, is an area more commonly known as "The Ring of Fire". Volcanic activity is very common in this area, due to to the many volcanos present.

Compare each patient's cdna sequence to the wild-type cdna sequence. Each patient has one nucleotide-pair substitution mutation.

Lera25 [3.4K]

The mutation is a change in the nucleotidic sequence. In the exposed example, Patient 1: nucleotide 143, TTC⇒TGC. Patient 2: nucleotide 143, TTC⇒TCC. Patient 3: nucleotide 147, TTC ⇒ TTG.

<h3>What is a mutation?</h3>

A mutation is a change or alteration in DNI sequences that introduce new variants.

Many of these are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated into each individual.

These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.

<h3>Solving the problem</h3>

We know that each sequence initiates with nucleotide number 103 and ends in nucleotide 162.

So first, we will number the nucleotides, from 103 to 162. Each nucleotide has a number in increasing order.

Now, we will identify the mutations in each of the strands by comparing them with the wild-type sequence. The mutation occurs in one of the nucleotides, so we must look for the change in the bases.

Finally, we will identify the nucleotide location of each mutation.

nucleotide wild-type mutated

location nucleotide nucleotide

Patient 1 143 TTC TGC

Patient 2 143 TTC TCC

Patient 3 147 TTC TTG
