Mutations are changes in genomic sequences that can be caused by radiation, viruses, or transposons. Mutations may have no effect, prevent gene function, or alter protein production. Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring, allowing variation to accumulate and lead to evolution over generations. DNA carries genetic information and is copied for each new cell, with the location of a sequence on a chromosome called a locus.

2. Mutation are changes in a
genomic sequence.
Mutation are caused by
radiation, viruses, and
transposons

3. They can also be induce by
the organism itself
A mutation is passed to the
offspring stably, unless .it is a
dynamic mutation

4.  Mutation can result in several different
type of change in sequence (RNA) these
can either have no effect, or prevent the
gene from functioning properly or
completely
 Mutation changes a protein produced
by a gene.

5.  Heredity is the passing to
offspring from its parent or
ancestors
 Through heredity, variation
exhibited by individuals can
accumulate and cause some
species to evolve.

6.  In humans eye color is an inherited
characteristic and an individual might
inherit the brown eye trait from one of
the parents
 Heritable traits are known to be passed
from one generation to the next via
DNA, a molecule that encodes genetic
information

7.  Before a cell divides, the DNA
is copied , so that each of the
resulting two cells will inherit
the DNA sequence
 The specific location of the
DNA sequence within a
chromosome is known as a
locus

8. A immune response is a system
biological structures and
processes with in a organism that
project against disease .
 Immune response consists of
many type of proteins, cells,
organs, and tissues that interact in
an elaborate and dynamic
network

9.  Thisprocess of acquired
immunity is the basis of
vaccination.
 A immune response protects
organisms from infection with
layered defenses of increasing
specificity

10.  Immunity depends on the
ability of the immune response
to distinguish between self and
non-self molecules
 “the earliest known mention of
immunity was during the
plague of Athens in 430 BC.”

14.  Breast cancer is a cancer
originating from breast tissue
 Treatment may include
surgery, drugs, radiation

15.  „in 2008 , breast cancer caused
458,503 deaths worldwide (13.7%
of cancer deaths in women).
 “a genetic mutation implicated in
breast and ovarian cancer could
also have a role in causing heart
failure.
