Mutation are changes in a

genomic sequence.

Mutation are caused by

radiation, viruses, and

transposons

They can also be induce by

the organism itself

A mutation is passed to the

offspring stably, unless .it is a

dynamic mutation

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.

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.

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

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

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

This process of acquired

immunity is the basis of

vaccination.

A immune response protects

organisms from infection with

layered defenses of increasing

specificity

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.”

Breast cancer is a cancer

originating from breast tissue

Treatment may include

surgery, drugs, radiation

„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.
