Cells are dividing through the processes of Mitosis and Meiosis. DNA mutations directly affect cells by making them divide non-stop. This is known as Cancer. Proto-oncogenes, a gene involved in cell division mutates and becomes oncogenes that orders cell mechanism of division to go on continously even though the DNA found in a cell's nucleus is already damaged. this causes abnormal cell division.
mutations in skin cells do not affect germline cells, which are responsible for passing DNA to offspring. Only mutations in germline cells can be passed down to future generations. Skin cell mutations typically only impact the individual with the mutation.
Mutations in body (somatic) cells, such as lung cells, do not affect the DNA in egg or sperm cells that are passed on to offspring. Only mutations in the DNA of reproductive cells can be passed on to future generations.
Chemicals that do not cause cancer by themselves but can act with another chemical to cause cancer (cocarcinogens). Damage to DNA in cells can lead to cancer. ... Unrepaired DNA damage can lead to mutations, or changes, in genes, and mutations in certain genes can cause cancer. You can also inherit mutations.
DNA change/ mutations can be dangerous
The type of cells that carry mutated DNA is the boold cells
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
Sex cell mutations, also known as germline mutations, affect the DNA in the reproductive cells (sperm and egg). When these altered sex cells unite during fertilization, the offspring inherits the mutation in all of their cells, including somatic cells, which make up the body. This means that the altered DNA is present in all tissues and can be passed on to future generations.
Cells that carry mutated DNA can include cancer cells, germline cells, and somatic cells. Cancer cells typically have accumulated mutations that drive unchecked growth, while germline cells can pass mutations onto offspring. Somatic cells, found throughout the body, can also harbor mutations that may or may not lead to disease.
If DNA is not copied correctly during replication, it can result in mutations in the new DNA strand. These mutations can lead to genetic disorders, diseases, or possibly cancer. It can also affect the proper functioning of cells and organisms.
Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.
Mutations in body cells can lead to disruption in normal cellular function, potentially resulting in diseases like cancer. Mutations can affect important biological processes such as cell division, DNA repair, and cell death, leading to uncontrolled growth and impaired cell communication. This can ultimately lead to the formation of tumors and other adverse health outcomes.
Mutagenic agents are substances that can cause changes in an organism's DNA, leading to mutations. These mutations can affect the way cells grow and replicate, potentially causing harmful effects such as cancer or genetic disorders.
