How does a mutation in a cell affect an organism?
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
What are the signs of a mutation?
Abnormal cell growth and foreign side effects.
Do cell structures move from cell to cell?
no, there can be a possible mutation but nothing major. there is movement inside the cell though.
A change in the genetic material of a cell is called?
Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.
An error in genetic information present in a body cell of a mammal would most likely produce?
An error in genetic information in a body cell of a mammal is likely to produce a mutation. Depending on the specific nature of the mutation, it could potentially lead to a variety of outcomes, ranging from no noticeable effects to genetic disorders or diseases.
What type of cell must contain a mutation in order for the mutation to be passed from a women to her offspring?
The mutation must be present in the egg cell (oocyte) of the woman in order for it to be passed on to her offspring. Sperm cells from the father do not contain the cytoplasm that would carry the mutation.
How does a mutation in sex cell differ from 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.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ in 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.
How does a mutation in a sex cell 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.
How does mutation in a sex cell differ from 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 is one possible consequence of mutation in a non-sex cell?
The formation of a tumor, which may or may not be cancerous.
Does exposure to cat scans cause lethal cell mutation?
It's possible because they are x-rays.
