Is it true that only mutations in gametes can be passed from parent to offspring?
Gametic mutations occur in the cells of the gonads (which produce sperm and eggs) and may be inherited. There are two types of mutations that can occur in gamete cells: 1. Gene Mutations 2. Chromosomal 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.
Which in DNA often occur during replication. During which phase of the cells cycle do such mutations occur?
Interphase
Can somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes?
No, they occur in the organism's body cells and cannot be inherited by the offspring .
Mutations that occur in body cells will always be life threatening to the organism?
Incorrect.
What human disease is characterized by unregulated mitosis?
Cancer. When cells divide in an unregulated fashion, mutations occur. These mutations quickly become a larger problem in the body, forming cancer tissue.
Mutations that occur in skin or lung cells have little effect on the evolution of a species because mutations in these cells?
cannot be passed on to offspring

Is it important for cells to divide?
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.

Is mutations that occur in body cells will always be threatening to the organism?
yes, true.
Mutations that occur in body cells will always be life threatening to the organism?
Incorrect.
When does replacation occur?
Whenever cells divide.
What mutations that occur in body cells not involved in reproduction will not be passed on to the person offspring?
Cancer
Why is it important for cell to divide?
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.
