Are all mutations bad.?

No not all mutations are bad there are good mutations and bad mutations


Are all mutations passed on to your children?

No, not all mutations are passed on to children. Mutations can occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) and if they are present in those cells, they can be passed on to the next generation. However, most mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring.


What kinds of non-human cells make up the human body?

all the cells in the human body are human except bacteria and cells in food consumed for example ameobas and any type of parasite


Why not all mutations are passed on to future offspring?

Not all mutations are passed on to future offspring because mutations occur randomly and may not affect an individual's reproductive cells. Additionally, some mutations may be harmful to the organism, reducing its chances of survival and reproduction. Finally, mutations that do occur in reproductive cells may not be passed on if the individual does not reproduce or if the mutation is not present in the germ line cells.


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.


What are the examples of eukaryotics cells?

There many examples of eukaryotic cells. All human cells are eukaryotic therefore any cell from our bodies can be an example, like hepatocytes (liver cells).


Do the shapes of human Cells change from one person to another?

No, they don't. There are over 200 different types of cells in a human body. All have different functions and different sizes and shapes. But, each type is of the same size in every human. For example, the muscle cells would be of the same size in all the humans. the red blood cells are different from the muscle cells in terms of their function and their size and shape; however, all human will have the same size of red blood cells. Hope that helped..


Mutations that occur in germ-line cells are?

Somatic mutations occur in somatic body cells. These mutations are passed on to daughter cells during mitosis and to the offspring of those cells in turn, but are not passed on to sexually produced offspring.


Will cells with mutations always make normal proteins?

Cells with mutations may not always produce normal proteins. Mutations can alter the DNA sequence, which may result in changes to the structure or function of the protein produced. These changes can lead to abnormal protein function, which can impact cellular processes and potentially contribute to disease.


What makes mutations happen?

A mutation in humans is caused by a misconnection of DNA chromosomes and cells. Not all mutations are genetics some are just a fluke with the DNA match up.


What is smaller than human cell in the human body?

All cells are smaller than human(except when you're comparing a chicken egg to an embryo)
