Question
Are all mutations bad?
- Yes
- No
- Maybe
- None
Hint:
Mutation is the reason for evolution.
The correct answer is: No
Not all mutations are bad!
Mutation refers to change in the sequence of genetic material of an organism. The change can be in the form of addition or deletion of the gene sequence of the organism. Sometimes, the mutations do not have any effect at all which is called silent mutation.
Mutation has both pros and cons. Some mutations benefit the organisms and it is called beneficial mutation, while some mutations affect the normal functioning of the organism (harmful mutation). Cancer can be attributed to the the latter type of mutation in few cases. Development of lactose tolerance in humans, eye color variation, are few examples of beneficial mutation.
- Not all mutations are harmful
- Condition where the normal gene sequence of an organism is altered is called mutation
- Mutation can be classified as beneficial mutation, harmful mutation and silent mutation
- Evolutionary changes can be attributed as an example of beneficial mutation
- Cancer, Antibiotic resistant bacteria and many more are examples of harmful mutation
