mutation is when you out deformed and i dont know when it happens

A mutation is a missing DNA or change in DNA.

Oja, Noah said...

Mutation are any change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosomes of a cell. It occurs if DNA is not copied right.

Mutation is the changing of the structure of a gene. It occurs if a DNA is not copied correctly.

Mutation is a permanent change in your DNA. It occurs if their parents are also mutated so it could passed down in your genes. It can also be acquired.

Mutation is any permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome of a cell. It occurs when a mistake happens like if a A, goes with a C instead of a T.

mutation is the change in the DNA. the change of directions. It occurs when DNA isn't copied right.

a mutation is when something changes

Mutation is a change in DNA, it occurs when a mistake happens.

A mutation is when something starts to change and then changes.They usually look weird!I It occurs when DNA is not copied the correct way or if the DNA gets mixed!

Mutation is the change of DNA permanently.They occur when DNA isn'y copied right.

when dna mixed up

A mutation is a change in the dna. Some mutations can be fixed- like if a cow that would have had a twin, but the twin died and fused into the other cow. But if your like a cyclops or something then you cant change that. it is passed down but can also be acquired.

Mutation is a change in your DNA. It is when DNA gets mixed up. It occurs when a mistake happens like A goes with C instead of T. It could also be passed through genes.

A mutation is when one side of DNA doesn't have the right pair, like adenine might be acciedently paired with guanine. These occur when the RNA contains the wrong info

Mutation is the change in DNA!;)

A mutation is when one side of the DNA a mistake happens when the DNA is copying.

alex pinkham said...

A mutation is a change in DNA. A mistake will happen when your DNA is being copied.

Nurse Tyla G said...

A mutation is when there is a mess up in the DNA.

Stevey A said...

A mutation is when you have a default in your dna. These occur when rna contains the wrong info.

andrew b said...

a default or mistake during the replication of DNA structures.

When mutation happens is when something happens to the DNA. One Mistake then your DNA will come out wrong.

1.A mutation is simply an accidental change in your genes or DNA sequence. The types of mutations in biology are: substitution, insertion, deletion, and frame-shift.

Contrary to popular belief, mutations are often harmless. However, beneficial and harmful mutations can arise and affect the organism positively or negatively.

2.Mutations occur during the "S" stage of interphase of mitosis and meiosis. This is during the DNA replication period.

mutation is when dna does copy right.

Aaron R said...

a mutation is something that changes because of a DNA strand when it doesn't have the right match.

Grace B said...

A mutation is when one side of the DNA gets copied the wrong way. Like matching an A with a G.

Sara H said...

Mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations range in size from a single DNA base to a large segment of a chromosome. They can be inherited from a parent or acquired during a person’s lifetime.

Holly J said...

A mutation is a default. It happens when there is a default in the replicating of DNA.

Kasey G. said...

A mutation is when DNA is not copied exactly, and the proteins made from the instructions might not be made correctly. X-rays, sunlight, and certain chemicals can cause mutations.

Mason B said...

Mutation is the changing of the structure and DNA of one gene to another as they copy.
