1)I am suggesting that positive mutations does not exist. Some can say that viruses are positive mutations which in fact they do mutate, but they are not *"virus can never “mutate” into a complete factory (a living organism), that the concept of “positive” or “negative” is completely irrelevant from an evolutionary point of view. So – once again, one could argue that viruses do have positive mutations, but they are not living organisms nor can they mutate into a living organism."* -http://auxtbcr.info/Articles/Positive%20Mutations.htm
Yes there is a such thing as positive mutation. Mutations are being represented as an avenue of positive change in living organisms. An example of a mutation would be sickle cell which makes it impossible for someone to get malaria.
Quonshia I thought your post was very interesting, because usually sickle cell anemia is associated with a negative life threatening mutation. So what do you guys think? Is sickle cell anemia a positive mutation?
In my Opinion, I believe that positive mutation doesn``t exist because thousands of human mutations are associated with diseases. Thus saying, that if mutation affect germ cells, then most likely it will affect future generations causing inherited diseases. This is known as germline mutations.
I believe in this sense, sickle cell anemia can be considered a positive mutation.Only because it makes it almost impossible to contract malaria.But one the other hand it is also a very dangerous disease, so this can probably be considered a negative mutation, but while working doing a positive thing.
I will continue to stick with my opinion that there is a such thing as positive mutation due to the fact that it prevents malaria. Truth is, sickle cell hospitalizes 75,000 and kills 500 people per year in the U.S. alone. If a person lives in an area inhabited by mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite, then the sickle cell allele can be considered positive in the following sense. Sickle cell allele creates a condition in One of the blood cells that gives some protection from the malaria parasite
Sicke cell is a very dangerous disease to have and it causes may harmful symptons such as splenic crisis, whic causes the spleen to grow large and causes anemia....and if it gets to bad a blood transfusion maybe needed...so in my opinion I do not believe that there is a such thing as a positive mutation. A mutation is something out side of the normal...now sometimes this can be harmless but what abot when the mutation starts to threaten the life of the living organism affected by the mutation
There is a such thing as positive mutations. Positive mutations happens during meiosis when sexual reproduction increase the genetic.
