If there is a mutation to the gametes then the offspring will have the mutation. This mutation is not always expressed on the outside but can affect that organism's offspring.

During meiosis how many replications occur?

DNA replicates once during meiosis. This is why the end result is four haploid cells.


Occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis?

Mistakes such as nondisjunction can occur during meiosis. This is the result of chromosomes failing to separate equally during either anaphase.


Mutations in DNA often occur during replication. During which phase of the cell cycle do such mutations occur?

Genetic mutations occur during the S phase of the cell cycle (during interphase before mitosis or meiosis begins). This is when DNA is replicated, so any error would cause a mutation in the genetic code. Chromosomal nondisjunction is the failure of replicated chromosomes to separate, which causes extra or missing chromosomes in the daughter cells. This mutation can occur during meiosis I or II and during mitosis.

How do individuals acquire mutations?

Mutations are caused by radiation, viruses,transposons and mutagenic chemicals, as well as errors that occur during meiosis or DNA replication. They can also be induced by the organism itself, by cellular processes such as hypermutation.

Where do you expect genetic differences between cells to arise from mitosis or from meiosis?

That is a good question. In mitosis, you don't get regular genetic variation but chance mutations can occur. In meiosis with fertilization, you get pairing of DNA from different hosts on a regular basis. I would choose the latter.
