If a mutation occurs within a gene, the new allele may affect the trait that the gene controls, altering the phenotype of the organism.

This occurs as sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two haploid gametes ( the egg and sperm ) to produce a new organism having the full complement of chromosomes.

During gametogenesis — the production of new gametes by an adult — the normal complement of 46 chromosomes needs to be halved to 23 to ensure that the resulting haploid gamete can join with another gamete to produce a diploid organism.

In nature, the mutations that arise may be beneficial or deleterious-it is the driving force of evolution, an organism may acquire new traits through genetic mutation, but mutation may also result in impaired function of the genes, and in severe cases, causing the death of the organism.

Biosafety in agriculture, chemistry, medicine, exobiology and beyond will likely require application of the precautionary principle, and a new definition focused on the biological nature of the threatened organism rather than the nature of the threat.

Bioassays are typically conducted to measure the effects of a substance on a living organism and are essential in the development of new drugs and in monitoring environmental pollutants.

Once conditions are favorable, the spore can develop into a new organism using mitotic division, producing a multicellular gametophyte, which eventually goes on to produce gametes.

Spores are units of asexual reproduction ; by contrast, gametes are units of sexual reproduction, as two gametes need to fuse to create a new organism.

Also possible under US law is patenting a cultivar, a new variety of an existing organism.

In biology, offspring is the product of reproduction, of a new organism produced by one or more parents.

Herodotus relates that under his prudent administration, Egypt reached a new level of wealth ; Amasis adorned the temples of Lower Egypt especially with splendid monolithic shrines and other monuments ( his activity here is proved by existing remains ).

In addition, a 2010 Cochrane Collaboration review of trials of Risperidone, one of the biggest selling antipsychotics and the first of the new generation to become available in generic form, found only marginal benefit compared with placebo and that, despite its widespread use, evidence remains limited, poorly reported and probably biased in favor of risperidone due to pharmaceutical company funding of trials.
