Can mutations be passed from parents to offspring?
You can probably get a better idea from Wikipedia's article on Mutations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation
How do mutation get transferred to offspring?
DNA mutations can pass from parents to off spring only if the mutation occurs in the sex cells (eggs and sperm).
Offspring that result from reproduction can always maintain a parent's gene combinations?
edoptions. Novelstars answer is Asexual. Asexual reproduction bears offspring that always maintain a parent's gene combinations..
Can mutation be passed along to human offspring through meiosis and mitosis?
Mutations can be passed down to offspring through meiosis, not mitosis.
What mutations that occur in body cells not involved in reproduction will not be passed on to the person offspring?
Cancer
What kinds of mutations can be passed on to offspring?
Heritable mutations.
How are mutations passed down from parent to offspring?
Mutations can be passed from parent to offspring only by mutations found in genes. These genetic mutations can be hereditary. Chromosomal mutations only occur in one person and cannot be passed on to the offspring.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
The mutations that breeders induce in organisms are passed on to the organisms?
offspring
Can mutations be passed from parents to offspring?

New inherited characteristics may appear in offspring as a result of new combinations of existing genes or may result from mutations in genes comtained in cells produced by structure?
Fallapian tube
Can mutations be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes mutations can be passed from parent to offspring. If a parent has a certain gene that is mutated then there is a possibility that the child may inherit it.
What are the genetic definitions of fitness and adaptation?
The genetic definition of fitness and adaptation is when a given organism survives long enough to have an offspring. The offspring usually have another offspring and the chain continues.
True False All mutations can be passed on from a parent to an offspring?
Only mutations which occur in the gametes. Mutations in somatic cells ( body) are not passed on to offspring. Example: A mutation in skin cells leads to skin cancer, but this cannot be passed on to offspring.
Where must genetic mutations occur for the offspring to inherit the mutation?
DICKSPLASH
What is used to organize offspring combinations?
punnett squares
How are traits passed to offspring?
through genes and adaptation
