Sex cells, also known as gametes, are created through a process called meiosis. In animals, male sex cells are called sperm, which are produced in the testes, while female sex cells, known as eggs or ova, are produced in the ovaries. When a sperm fertilizes an egg during sexual reproduction, it leads to the formation of offspring.

What type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring?
Sex cells
Are leaves and stems sexual or asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction means the combining of cells and DNA from two organisms. Plants do not have sex or combine their cells with any other plants in any way. This creates offspring that are identical to the plant.
What cells need to have mutation in order to pass it on to offspring?
The gametes (sex cells): sperm and egg.
How does a mutation in a sex cells differ from a mutation in a non sex cell?
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.
What does the offspring look like when an organism is cloned?
No because though the parents are copys the offspring would be 2 sex cells (egg and sperm) and those 2 cells are unique made by the clones body.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
Sex cell mutation incorporates altered DNA into which cells of the offspring's body?
Sex cells
Which is the process that creates sex cells?
Meiosis
What type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring?
Sex cells
What is a nuclear division that forms sex cells?
The answer is meiosis, as it creates cells.
What cell process creates sex cells?
Its made from the Meiosis

Asexual reproduction means the combining of cells and DNA from two organisms. Plants do not have sex or combine their cells with any other plants in any way. This creates offspring that are identical to the plant.
When sex cells combine to produce offspring sex cell will contribute what?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
What type of cells does the reproductive system produce?
TO PRODUCE SEX CELLS involved in the production of offspring
What cells need to have mutation in order to pass it on to offspring?
The gametes (sex cells): sperm and egg.
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell contributes?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
