Please explain an asexual cell or cell mutation?

Question

Many evolutionist believe that cells split or mutated. If this is true why are we all different? We are not clones, which is what happens when a cell splits. How can mutations(recombining of the genetic code)create any new or improved varieties?(recombining english letters will never create chinese words, it will still be english!)
Many of you cannot answer my questions, so you resort to sarcasm. Please, serious answers only.

Answer 1

Cells DO split, it's called mitosis.

Cells DO occasionally mutate during mitosis when a transcription error occurs.

Mutations create variation. If the gene responsible for the amount of pigment in a skin cell mutates, the skin cell and all it's subsequent daughter cells may be darker than the original. This can be applied to other scenarios such as the size of ears, body mass, eye colour, etc.

Roman letters can be used to create any language that uses them - French, Italian, Spanish, etc. Don't assume that letters can be comparable to genes though. There are 26 letters in the modern Roman Alphabet (that's the one that we use) where as there are 4 "letters" in genes that have set transcriptions for all the possible 3 letter words. All it takes is one letter to be misread to change the resulting amino-acid and a protein can either be effected by it or not.

Obviously transcription errors can result in a positive reaction - several decades ago a strain of bacteria was found that could metabolise nylon byproducts - which didn't exist prior to the 1950s - it was discovered that the bacteria's genes responsible for creating enzymes to break down sugars had mutated - an additional "letter" was added before a group of "words" that threw out the 3 letter transcription but resulted in the creation of the new enzyme.

As bacteria are asexual, I think you'll agree that this explains that asexual mutations DO occur. The method is through the imperfect process of gene duplication during mitosis.

Answer 2

I am not quite sure what you are asking.

But I know that my nephew suffers from Fragile X Syndrome, which is when the X Chromosome continuously deteriorates with each generation. The women carry it, and the boys are ultimately the one's that suffer from it. It is a syndrome which can and does cause mild to severe mental retardation.

There is nothing we can do about this degeneration, my mother carried it, 1 of her daughters carried it, and 1 of her granddaughters carried it. Now, my mom has 1 grandson and 1 great-grandson that has the syndrome. The grandson is only mildly affected, the great-grandson is quite severe. It is getting worst with each mutation and generation.

Is this what you are looking for?

Answer 3

An asexual cell is one that reproduces by division rather than mating.

Cell mutation is a flaw in the genetic code, often brought about by radiation.

Answer 4

"Many evolutionist believe that cells split or mutated."

perhaps because they saw it happen. did you ever look through a microscope?

mutations can produce novelty through functional intermediates, a bit like this:

AIR
FAIR
FAIRY

try it yourself.

"Many of you cannot answer my questions"

this is true. the reason apparently escapes you though - it is because your questions are kind of dumb. sorry, but it's true. it is very hard to believe that you have to ask R&S these questions - you could ask in science if you really wanted the answer, or you could find out yourself from any number of science books.

Answer 5

They wouldn't have been / aren't exact clones. There are slight differences in every generation. So 300 generations later you have a completely different cell.

Answer 6

many of you know that there's a science section. why not ask there?

Answer 7

it is all written down for you to find. google it. asexual reproduction has been observed in high school labs all across the world. your question was answered sarcastically because all of this has been covered, in biology.

Answer 8

Theory of evolution cannot explain this phenomenon
