What are the advantages and disadvantages of mutation? ½ a page response
One of the advantages mutation possesses is the possibility of evolution, providing small changes that can be beneficial to the species. On the other hand, mutations can also cause harm and cause the species’ life harder for survival. Another advantage is diversity caused by mutation, as an example is the new different kinds of plants and new flowers that are discovered every single day. Plant mutation can lead to high crop yields, disease resistance, adaption of the climate, and high nutritional content. However for as much as mutations have helped us discover, there is also disadvantages, such as disease. Disease happens due to a mutation and the development of it. Not only disease, but also able to cause genetic disorders, an abnormality now found on their DNA. Abnormalities can range from small mutations in a single gene to the addition of an entire set of chromosomes.
