undergo genetic change

If a living thing, cell, gene, or virus mutates, its genetic material changes.

รูปแบบการใช้: [organism/cell/gene/virus] mutates
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Do not use mutate for ordinary everyday changes like changing plans; use change instead.
คำพ้องความหมาย
change (broader and less specifically genetic) | evolve (suggests gradual biological development over time, not always a single genetic change) | alter (more general and often transitive)
คำตรงข้าม
remain stable (means not undergo genetic change) | stay unchanged (general opposite meaning)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน
a virus mutates |a gene mutates |cells mutate |mutate rapidly |mutate randomly |mutate over time |a strain mutates |mutate naturally
หัวข้อ
biology |genetics |medicine |science
ตัวอย่าง
  • Viruses can mutate quickly, which makes them harder to control.
  • The gene mutated in a way that affected the plant's color.
  • Cancer can begin when normal cells mutate and grow uncontrollably.
ตัวอย่างสำหรับผู้เรียน
  • The virus mutated over time.
  • Some cells mutate naturally.

change into different form

If something mutates into something else, it changes into a very different form.

รูปแบบการใช้: [something] mutates into [something]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
In this general sense, mutate into is usually more natural than mutate to when naming the new form.
คำพ้องความหมาย
transform (more common and neutral for a clear change in form) | evolve (suggests gradual development rather than sudden change) | morph (more informal and often visual or cultural)
คำตรงข้าม
remain unchanged (means not change in form or character) | stay the same (simple everyday opposite)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน
mutate into something |slowly mutate |quickly mutate |an idea mutates |a story mutates |a movement mutates |a discussion mutates |a joke mutates online
หัวข้อ
change |media |society |ideas
ตัวอย่าง
  • The online joke mutated into a political slogan.
  • Over the years, the small local festival mutated into a major tourist event.
  • What began as a simple complaint soon mutated into a wider debate about working conditions.
ตัวอย่างสำหรับผู้เรียน
  • The story mutated into a legend.

cause genetic change

To mutate a cell or gene is to make its genetic material change.

รูปแบบการใช้: [agent/substance/radiation] mutates [gene/cell/organism]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
In general English, the passive form is often used: the cells were mutated by radiation.
คำพ้องความหมาย
alter (more general and not necessarily genetic) | modify (can suggest a controlled or intentional change) | damage (emphasizes harmful effect, not mutation specifically)
คำตรงข้าม
preserve (means keep something in its existing state) | stabilize (means make something less likely to change)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน
mutate DNA |mutate a gene |mutate cells |radiation mutates cells |chemicals mutate DNA |mutate bacteria |deliberately mutate a gene |mutate a strain
หัวข้อ
biology |genetics |medicine |science
ตัวอย่าง
  • High doses of radiation can mutate healthy cells.
  • Researchers mutated a single gene to study its effect on the disease.
  • Some chemicals are known to mutate DNA.
ตัวอย่างสำหรับผู้เรียน
  • Radiation can mutate cells.
  • The scientists mutated the gene.

modify data in place

In programming, to mutate data means to change the original data directly.

รูปแบบการใช้: [function/method/code] mutates [object/array/state]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Do not confuse mutate with return: a function can return a value without mutating the original object.
คำพ้องความหมาย
modify (more general and common in computing) | update (often means change to a newer value) | alter (general word for changing something)
คำตรงข้าม
copy (suggests making a separate object instead of changing the original) | clone (means create a duplicate rather than directly change the original) | leave unchanged (means not modify the original data)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน
mutate state |mutate an object |mutate an array |mutate data |mutate the input |directly mutate |mutate in place |avoid mutating props |a mutating method
หัวข้อ
computing |programming |software |data
ตัวอย่าง
  • This function mutates the original array, so make a copy first if you need the old values.
  • In React, you should not directly mutate state.
  • The method returns nothing because it mutates the object in place.
ตัวอย่างสำหรับผู้เรียน
  • The function mutates the list.
  • Do not mutate the original data.
