What mutations that occur in body cells not involved in reproduction will not be passed on to the person offspring?
Cancer
What DNA mutations are directly linked to inherited diseases?
the ones that have to do with the stuff that is involved such as sexual defencicies
Does asexual reproduction contribute to sexual variation?
No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.
What is stickler syndrome caused by?
It is inherited disorder caused by mutations in certain genes involved in formation of a protein called collagen.
How can DNA-level mutations affect the structure of proteins?
DNA is formed out of proteins, mutations can cause the bonds between the chains to loosen or not form at all. It may also cause additonal bonds forming and changet the order of amino acids involved in the chain.
What mutations that occur in body cells not involved in reproduction will not be passed on to the person offspring?
Cancer
What is the difference between somatic and gametic cells?
a germline mutation is one the was passed on to offspring because the egg or sperm cell was mutated. a somatic mutation is a mutation of the somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) that cannot be passed on to offspring.
What are the similarities between asexual and sexual reproduction?
* Involves at least one parent * Plants and animals involved. [some are sexual while others are asexual] * Produce offspring * Forms of reproduction
Can mutations that occur in somatic cells be passed on to an organisms offspring?
If the mutation happens in the germ cells, only then it wil be passed on to the offsprings. But, if it happens in some other cell, then it won't be. Such a mutation is Superficial. Like, if we cut the tail of a mouse, no change occurs in the germ cells. So the next generation will still be born with a tail.

Can mutations in human gives special abilities?
I don't think so. Mutations are changes in the genetic material of a cell, and the cause of a mutation in most cases are either point mutations (only a single base pair in a DNA is involved) or chromosomal mutations (involve rearrangements in big regions of chromosomes). But changing rearrangements does not exactly change what is in the DNA itself, and small changes could not give special abilities since we know you need a lot of changes to become Spiderman In most cases, mutations tent to be harmful (causing cancer) rather than be helpful.

What is the mutated gene of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
CMT is caused by mutations in genes that produce proteins involved in the structure and function of either the peripheral nerve axon or the myelin sheath. Although different proteins are abnormal in different forms of CMT disease, all of the mutations affect the normal function of the peripheral nerves. The gene mutations in CMT disease are usually inherited.

DNA is formed out of proteins, mutations can cause the bonds between the chains to loosen or not form at all. It may also cause additonal bonds forming and changet the order of amino acids involved in the chain.
How many parents are in sexual reproduction?
2 are involved in sexual reproduction, 1 is involved in asexual reproduction
How is Zellweger syndrome caused?
Zellweger syndrome is caused by mutations in any one of several different genes involved in the function of the peroxisome
