A gene mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to a change in the genetic information passed from parents to offspring. These changes can be either beneficial or harmful to the body, and may have both genetic and environmental causes.
Gene mutations can occur as a result of various factors, including radiation, chemicals and viruses. They can arise either by chance or as a result of the natural process of evolution.
Gene mutations can lead to various diseases such as cancer, hereditary diseases and other genetic abnormalities. However, some gene mutations can also lead to positive changes, such as making the body more resistant to disease or improving performance.
To prevent and control gene mutations, it is important to conduct genetic research and monitor the health status of the population. It is also necessary to take into account the consequences of gene mutations when planning pregnancy and choosing treatment methods.
In general, gene mutations are an important component of genetic diversity and evolution of living organisms. However, their study and control are of great importance for maintaining the health and well-being of people and animals.
Mutations resulting from genetic changes lead to the emergence of new properties and functions in organisms. Gene mutations are changes in the DNA sequence. They can occur accidentally, under the influence of various environmental factors, such as radiation. It is also possible to use genetic engineering to create new types of organisms with certain properties. Gene technologies make it possible to artificially select the gene pool of highly productive animal breeds, increase their productivity, accelerate breeding, and ensure the production of livestock products.
Genetic factors that determine a body's susceptibility to developing disease can be modified or prevented through prevention, secondary prevention (diet, medications, exercise), and primary prevention (
