Sudden heritable change in dna or chromosomes is called
mutation.There are agents which cause mutations called
mutagens.Due to mutations many abnormalities will apeear in
nerw generations which may be useful or harmful.

A single base exchange mutation occurs in the promoter of the TRP operon. How the operation of the HIS operon might be affected in two ways?
Can you name a few potential risks of Genetic Engineering?
In the definition of mutation we say sudden heritable change i the DNA, so what does sudden means here?
Is Genetic Engineering worth the cost and effort?
In cats yellow is due to gene B and black to its allele b. These genes are located on the X chromosome (sex-linked). The heterozygous results in calico (tortoise shell). What kinds of offspring (sex & color) are expected from the cross: black male & calico female? Most calico males are sterile, why?
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
What is the importance of genetics?
what are the genetical reasons behind obesity?
Suppose you are heterozygous for a mutant beta-thalassemia allele. If the frequency of beta-thalassemia is 1/1600 persons, what is the probabilty that your prospective spouse is heterozygous for a mutant beta-thalassemia allele?

What ethical dilemmas should be considered when genetic engineering is put into practice?
what is the connection between a chromatid and a replicated DNA molecule?
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
