Scientists say mutations are main form of genetic variation
(Facts About Evolution)
Yet it must not be forgotten that mutation is the ultimate source of all genetic variation found in natural populations and the only raw material available for natural selection to work on" Professor Ernst Mayr, Animal Species and Evolution, p. 170 Other related topics ...

Silent mutation
(Facts About Biology)
Silent mutations are DNA mutations that do not result in a change to the amino acid sequence of a protein. This kind of mutation may occur in a noncoding region (outside of a gene or within an intron), or they may occur within an exon in a manner that does not alter ...

Characteristics are controlled not in a single place but by multiple genes
(Facts About Evolution)
However it gradually emerged that most characters, even simple ones, are regulated by many genes: for instance, fourteen genes affect eye color in Drosophila. (Not only that. The mutation which suppresses 'purple eye' enhances 'hairy wing,' for instance. The mechanism is not understood ...

Cells contain large amounts of information to control and translate the information
(Facts About Evolution)
Cells and organisms are also informed \intelligently designed and operated\ lifesupport systems. The basic component of any informed system is its plan. Here, argues the creationist, an impenetrable circle excludes the evolutionist. Any attempt to form a model or theory of the evolution ...

DNA
(Facts About Biology)
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions of an organism. These genetic instructions are used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. DNA Stores Information The main role of DNA molecules is the longterm storage ...

Point mutation
(Facts About Biology)
point mutation, or substitution, is a type of mutation that causes the replacement of a single base nucleotide with another nucleotide. Often the term point mutation also includes insertions or deletions of a single base pair (which have more of an adverse effect on the synthesized ...

Nonsense mutation
(Facts About Biology)
nonsense mutation is a frameshift mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a premature stop codon, or a nonsense codon in the transcribed mRNA. Often this mutation produces a truncated, and often nonfunctional, protein product
