When DNA is not repaired or cannot be repaired, what is the end result? Apoptosis- programmed cell death or mutation. 
A mutation occurs in a dog egg that changes a A to a T. This egg is fertilized and a puppy is born. What are the effects, if any? If the mutation is recessive, there will be no chan...
