What happens to dna when a mutation occurs, how can this affect translation

See explanation for full answer...

Explanation:

What happens to DNA when a mutation occurs: An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it acts and such. So if a change happens in an organism's DNA (which could be a mutation) can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. Without mutation, evolution could not occur.

How does it affect translation: The DNA in our cells is translated by 'cell machinery' to create proteins. The DNA sequence of a stretch of a gene determines the amino acid which results in the proteins. If any change happens, it can result in changes in translation.

the oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf, but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 100 meters (328 feet), seaward from the coast to the open ocean.

explanation:

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics
