Is a mutation passed on to new cells that are copied by it?
A mutation is passed on to new cells when the parent cell undergoes DNA replication in preparation for mitosis or meiosis. After DNA replication, mitotic cell division or meiotic cell division will occur, and the mutation will be passed on to the new cells. All of the cells produced by mitotic cell division will have the mutation and half of the cells produced by meiotic cell division will have the mutation.
How can mutation occurs in cells?
Mutations can be inherited. This means that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.Mutations can be acquired. This happens when environmental agents damage DNA, or when mistakes occur when a cell copies its DNA prior to cell division.
How can an organism produced by asexual be unique and different from its parent?
A organism can be unique and different from its parent when mutation occurs during DNA replication.
How can an organism produced by asexual reproduction be unique an different from its parent?
A organism can be unique and different from its parent when mutation occurs during DNA replication.
How can an organism produce by asexual reproduction by unique and different from its parent?
A organism can be unique and different from its parent when mutation occurs during DNA replication.
How can organism produced by asexual reproduction by unique and different from its parent?
A organism can be unique and different from its parent when mutation occurs during DNA replication.
How can and organism produced by asexual reproduction be unique and different from its parent?
A organism can be unique and different from its parent when mutation occurs during DNA replication.
During division in cellular reproduction the DNA and cytoplasm of the parent cell is?
douaghter cells
The completion of the physical division of the parent cell during the last stage of mitosis is known as?
The G0 phase is the last stage of mitosis in which the physical division of the parent cell is completed.
During division in cellular reproduction the DNA and cytoplasm of the parent cell distributed to two?
During division in cellular reproduction, the DNA and cytoplasm of the parent cell is distributed to two daughter cells. These daughter cells are genetically identical to each other.
Why is each individual produced by sexual reproduction unique?
An individual of sexual reproduction inherits half its genes from its one parent and the other half of its genes from another parent. Individuals which are produced from asexual reproduction are genetically identical to their one and only parent.
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a?
a cell wall
