What else can I help you with?
Where must a mutation occur if it passed to offspring?
In the gametes (e.g. sperm or egg)
Explain why a mutation in a sperm or egg cell has different consequences than one in a heart cell?
A mutation in a sperm or egg cell means that the mutation while most likely be passed down to the offspring of that organism. If the mutation is in anything but a gamete, it will not be passed down.
If a parent had an egg or sperm cell would the mutation be passed on?
yes, actually. when a sex cell is damaged, the mutations can be passed from generation to generation
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.
How many sperm cells are necessary to chemically break down the egg cell wall?
Multiple sperm cells are involved in the process of fertilization, but only one sperm cell is needed to penetrate and fertilize the egg cell. Once the sperm cell penetrates the egg, it releases enzymes that break down the egg cell wall, allowing the genetic material of the sperm to enter the egg.
What does the menstrual cycle prepare a woman for?
To make a baby once a month an egg is released and if no sperm to make it intO a baby then it goes out your virgina and that's why we bleed
What kind of cells will a change in the genetic code be passed on?
A change in the genetic code will be passed on to daughter cells during cell division, such as in mitosis or meiosis. This includes somatic cells (e.g., skin cells) and germ cells (e.g., sperm and egg cells).
Which mutation in a fruit fly could be passed on to its offspring?
A mutation in the fruit fly's germline cells, such as sperm or egg cells, can be passed on to its offspring. These mutations occur in the DNA sequence of the germline cells and can be inherited by the next generation. Somatic mutations, which occur in the non-reproductive cells of the fruit fly, are not passed on to offspring.
How do you use sperm and egg in a sentence?
Fertilization occurs when a sperm and egg unite.
What is joined by the process of fertilization?
sperm and egg. the sperm FERTILIZES the egg.
What is a good sentence using sperm and egg in the same sentence?
The sperm fertilised the egg.
Can a germ mutation be passed on to offspring?
Sometimes. It really depends on what it is.
