Animals are affected by radiation true or false why?
Yes they are. Simpler life forms have more resistance. Radiation catalyses mutations in the DNA sequences of organisms. This is why you can get cancer from radiation (e.g. skin cancer from ultra-violet radiation) because cancer is caused by mutations in multicellular organisms.

True or false is an organisms that result from sexual reprodution cannot be exatly like either parent?
This statement is true. Reproduction in asexual organisms result in an exact copy of the parent organism. Sexual reproduction will have traits from both parent organisms.
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

is this statement true or false BC?
If the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then "This statement is false" is true, making the statement false.
