Which of the following statements are true about mutations??

1-Mutations are random
2-Mutations are mostly beneficial
3-Mutations can occur in both DNA and RNA
for an organism
4-Mutations can only occur during interphase.
5-Not all DNA codes for proteins
6-Not all genes are turned on or activated
7-Substitution mutations typically result in frameshift
8-Mutations can be genetically inherited

Help!
*I think it is 1-2-4-5-7-8

Respuesta :

1-3-5-6-7-8

Mutations can happen in every stage of a cell cycle. Also most DNAs code for functional RNA not proteins. And only some mutations are beneficial not Mostly. Pay attention on the fact that in one cell we have complete set of genes but only a few of them express ( activated)

Mutations are mostly random, Mutations may be found in DNA and RNA, Not all the DNA codes for the proteins, some genes are turned on or activated, Substitution mutations typically result in a frame-shift, They can be genetically inherited.

  • A mutation is an alteration in the genome of the organisms and may be formed in the RNA or the DNA.
  • These can result from the changes in the genetic make up of the genes. They may also prevent the genes from functioning. Mutation is a process that involves the duplication in DNA through the genetic recombination. A type of genetic engineering.  

Hence these mutations are random, occurring both in DNA and RNA. Leading to changes in genetic codes and not all genes are activated. Some are inherited. Thus the correct statements are 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.
