How do mutation get transferred to offspring?
DNA mutations can pass from parents to off spring only if the mutation occurs in the sex cells (eggs and sperm).
Can mutations be passed from parents to offspring?
You can probably get a better idea from Wikipedia's article on Mutations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation
in asexual reproduction how many chromosomes is passed on from one parent to offspring?
how many (number of chromosomes are passed from parent to offspring in asexual reproduction
Can mutation be passed along to human offspring through meiosis and mitosis?
Mutations can be passed down to offspring through meiosis, not mitosis.
Adaptation and change is dependent upon mutations and random genetic combinations passed to offspring?
no
How are mutations passed down from parent to offspring?
Mutations can be passed from parent to offspring only by mutations found in genes. These genetic mutations can be hereditary. Chromosomal mutations only occur in one person and cannot be passed on to the offspring.
What kinds of mutations can be passed on to offspring?
Heritable mutations.
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 be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes mutations can be passed from parent to offspring. If a parent has a certain gene that is mutated then there is a possibility that the child may inherit it.

The mutations that breeders induce in organisms are passed on to the organisms?
offspring
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.
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.
Why are most mutations not passed to offspring?
They are only passed on if they are in the reproductive system cells.
