Hemophillia is an illness resulting from a mutation that supresses the role of some specific genes on the X chromosome. Under normal conditions, these genes guide the production of clotting factor proteins required to form a clot. What are two likely effects of this mutation on a person with hemophillia?

The mutation will result in excessive bleeding during injuries.

The mutation will result in an abnormally shaped blood clot.

The mutation will result in fast clot formation at the site of injury.

The mutation will result in a blockage of blood flow at the site of the injury.

The mutation will result in the production of too little clotting factor proteins.

Albinism is a genetic condition. It is caused by a mutation in specific genes that control the produciton of melanin. Melanin is a chemical respinsible for determining the color of the skin. It also protects the skin from the Sun. When exposed to the Sun, melanin is produced, which absorbs the harmful UV rays. Individuals with albinism fail to produce melanin in the body. Considering albinism is a harmful mutation, which statement supports the claim.

It increases the risk of developing skin cancer.

It changes the texture of the skin.

It reduces the sensitivity of the skin.

It makes the skin refelctive in response to the Sun.

The image shows the comparison between normal cell development and changes in cell development due to mutations. What can likely be concluded from this image about the mutation?

It is a harmful mutation as it will halt the function of normal body cells.

It is a harmful mutation as it will reduce the number of cells in the body.

It is a beneficial mutation as it will increase the numnber of cells in the body.

It is a beneficial mutation as it will speed up the process of cell division in the body.

Heterochromia is a genetic mutation. It results in two differently colored eyes in an individual. The presence of two-colored eyes does not affect the chances of survival of the organism. What does the example suggest about the impact of mutations on idividuals?

Mutations can have positive and negative effects.

Mutations always have negative effects.

Mutations always have positive effects.

Mutations can have neither positive nor negative effects.

The image shows that a mutation in bacteria may make them resistant to an antibiotic. What can likely be concluded from this about the bacterial population?

The population of resistant bacteria increased due to the positive effect of mutation.

The population of normal bacteria increased due to the negative effect of mutation.

The population of normal bacteria decreased due to the positive effect of mutation.

The population of resistant bacteria decreased due to the negative effect of mutation.

Mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism. Some mutations are harmful; however, some mutations create a benefit to the organism. An example of a beneficial mutation can be observed when changes in _______________.

a plant's tast results in the thwarting of herbivores.

the CFTR gene results in cystic fibrosis.

red blood cells results in sickle-cell anemia.
