MourningBands added 2 new photos. Honoring Those that Answered the Call. When people answer the call of public service with their lives, as far as I'm concerned, that's the gold standard. That was my thought when I brought these pieces together, and my thought each and every time one of them falls in the line of duty.
Best Answer: A mutation is a change in DNA. Genetic recombination can apply to two things: crossing-over between homologous chromosomes or recombining of traits when gametes fuse during fertilization. They all contribute to evolution because they result in a new organism with a new combination of characteristics. This new combination of characteristics is subjected to natural selection.
Gene mutations are the alterations of the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Gene mutation may alter the function of proteins in the body. Chromosomal mutations can be either an alteration of chromosome structure or chromosome number. The influence of chromosomal mutations is higher than gene mutations. The main difference between gene mutation and chromosomal mutation is the magnitude of alterations that occur in the genetic material by each type of mutation. Reference: 1.Bailey, Regina.
