The following points highlight the top six uses of mutations in microorganisms. The uses are: 1. Determination of Function 2. Demonstration of Metabolic Pathways in Microorganisms 3. For Understanding The Metabolic Regulation 4. For Matching a Biochemical Entity with a Biological Function 5. For Locating the Site of Action of External Agents 6. For the Production of Useful Products. Use [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Mutations 2. Occurrence of Mutations 3. Expression. Meaning of Mutations: Inheritance is based on genes that are faithfully transmitted from generation to generation in microorganisms (in all organisms). Despite the biochemical mechanisms that facilitate such transmissions faithfully, sudden change in the sequence of nucleotide bases in genes can and do [...]
