Can a mutation be passed on to offspring?
Not usually. Only In certain circumstances, can a mutation be passed on to offspring; such as Downs-syndrome.
What can predict whether a mutation in a human skin cell can be passed to its offspring?
A mutation in a human skin cannot be passed on to an offspring, since it is only a somatic mutation which is acquired. The mutation that can be passed on to an offspring is called a germline mutation, which happens in the egg and sperm.
The triat that appears in the offspring is called?
the characteristics which are passed on by to a offspring by its parents
The mutations that breeders induce in organisms are passed on to the organisms?
offspring
What are genetic traits?
Genetic traits are variations of features passed on to offspring from there parents.
Can a mutation in the retina be passed on to the offspring?
No.
What will determine the genotype of an organism?
The alleles that are passed from parents to offspring
Do mutations occur in a body cell can be passed on to an offspring?
Mutations in body cells are not typically passed on to offspring because they occur in somatic cells, which are not involved in reproduction. However, mutations in germ cells (sperm or egg) can be passed on to offspring.
What is one characteristic passed from parent to offspring through genes?
The sex of the offspring.
in asexual reproduction how many chromosomes is passed on from one parent to offspring?
how many (number of chromosomes are passed from parent to offspring in asexual reproduction
How can a mutation be passed on to offspring?
A mutation can be passed on if it occurs in a sex cell. This is because offspring have a copy of the parent's genetic code, so any mutation that is present here will also be present in the offspring.
How does a mutation in a sex differ from a from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell, such as a sperm or egg cell, can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations. In contrast, a mutation in a non-sex cell will only affect the individual and is not passed on to offspring.
