What are Mutations and what are the different types of Mutations?

A mutation is a random change in the DNA. Mutations can be neutral, which means it does not cause a change in a trait of the organism, or it could cause a beneficial or a harmful mutation. There are a few different types of mutations - gene mutations, which are mutations only within a single gene and chromosomal mutations, which are large changes in a chromosome. Mutations drive the evolution of life and are one of the reasons for life's diversity.

this is one of the few good videos that I have found. keep it up!

Wait. ATG is not a codon that corresponds to Met. The start codon is AUG. Similarly, the stop codon shown in the video should be UAA . Translation is from mRNA to Protein. Those T's must be U's, there is no Thymine in RNA.

Hmmm 😱, this is the best explanation of Gene mutation have gotten, in a short amount of time.👏👏👏

The ACTN3 genetic mutation actually hurts athletic performance. But it’s SO common that the people who don’t have it, and are without mutation, perform better. So no, genetic mutations don’t help, they hurt

[Patricia-mtpi]

Thank you for using laymen's terms for regular people to understand.

[Noah_RL]

Thank u so much! This video makes mutation so much clearer

[tpmsnewenglandworld]

The super power cell. It does make sense.

[showaenjoyer]

wow so movie people get to have cool superpowers but meanwhile all we get to have is just straight up look i get to have a calculator and you don’t!” sure wish we got to have cool superpowers

[adidonnylad]

So your telling me there's a chance?

[jenr]

Thank you! It finally makes sense! 👩‍🔬

If white people only married and had kids within their race, it would likely lead to a lack of racial diversity within their community and potentially reinforce notions of racial superiority. This could contribute to the perpetuation of racial segregation and discrimination, as well as limit opportunities for individuals of other races to assimilate and integrate into society. Additionally, genetic diversity is important for overall human health and well-being, as it helps reduce the risk of inherited diseases and conditions. Limiting marriage and reproduction to within one race could increase the likelihood of genetic disorders and other health issues within that population. Overall, promoting diversity and inclusion in relationships and families is important for creating a more equitable and harmonious society.

Mutations have never been shown to produce a new function or a new species...ever

Why were they watching a movie of wolverine and spiderman?

[KyleInosante]

so what you're saying is.... theirs a chance?

[shilagarai]

No it only works with mutantion syringes fast mutantion are super strong or healing or three headed or Get super energy Mutantions This work on us

[salim]

Thr chance that my son becoming the next wolverine are slim but not 0 do there is a hope

[Bob_Fiddle]

I have a good mutation my bones are stronger then a normal person except there is also a downside they get stronger wich is good but it will make me slowly get more death:(

[scarlettrose]

Someone who has a chromosome mutation this is really fascinating I have only one x chromosome and no y (I'm still a girl though) so what does that make me an anti X-Man😂😂😂

U maybe so but in reality mutation is Mistake is turn us useless body ugly form, 1 eye freak, n wrost death 💀
