∙ 11y agoAcquired characteristics cannot be inherited ( as Lamark believed). An example of an acquired characteristic: You have a car accident and end up with a huge scar on your face. That scar will not be passed on to your offspring, it's not part of your DNA.

Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
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
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
Can somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes?
No, they occur in the organism's body cells and cannot be inherited by the offspring .
An inherited disease or disorder that is caused by a mutation in a gene or by a chromosomal defect?
There are many thousands of different mutations.
What percentage of cancers are estimated to result from mutations that are not inherited?
70% of cancers are estimated to result from mutations that are not inherited.
How are mutations are inherited?
If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.

What two process can led to inherited variation in population?
Mutations and emergent properties.

What are the causes of thalassemia?
All types of thalassemias are recessively inherited, meaning that a genetic change must be inherited from both the mother and the father. The severity of the disease is influenced by the exact thalassemia mutations inherited, as well as.

Can mutation heritable?
Mutations are able to be inherited if they occur in your mother or father's sex cells. This is known as a germline mutation.
What are the causes of PXE?
PXE is caused by changes in the genetic material, called mutations, that are inherited in either a dominant or recessive mode.
How might individual bacterium become resistant to an antibiotic?
it inherited the allele that made it resistant
