DNA mutations can pass from parents to off spring only if the mutation occurs in the sex cells (eggs and sperm).
Mutations occur at the DNA level, and DNA is what reproduction uses to allow procreation. Therefor, mutations are passed on to offspring at the time of conception.
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to your offspring and to their offspring as well. Therefore, its effect is greater than that of a somatic mutation.
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
A mutation is an alteration in the DNA of the cell. Because the mutation is not "part" of the original DNA of your body, it cannot be passed onto your offspring
mutation can affect an organism's offspring
The offspring of the organism will have a mutation.
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.
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a non-sex cell cannot be passed on to an offspring.
Not usually. Only In certain circumstances, can a mutation be passed on to offspring; such as Downs-syndrome.
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.
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to your offspring and to their offspring as well. Therefore, its effect is greater than that of a somatic mutation.
