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.
What cell mutation can be inherited?
Sickle cell anemia is an example of a cell mutation that can be inherited.
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.
A mutation that occurs in a diploid cell can be inherited only if?
Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
What type of disease is when one cell mutates?
it's normal for cells to mutate. Mutation is what made evolution possible. Of course you should not get enough mutation to get cancer. Mutation can also cause disease and cancer, so it can also be a bad thing.
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.
What would the possible effects be in mutation in a skin cell?
melanoma, apoptosis, squamous cell carcinoma to name a few.
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 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 differ from a from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a non-sex cell cannot be passed on to an offspring.
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.
Can sickle cell be tested for prenatally?
Yes! sickle cell can be tested prenatally. Such testing can even be done before the zygote develops into a foetus thus making it possible for a potentially sickle cell diseased foetus to be aborted or even genetic manipulations to be carried to repair the mutation and the zygote reintroduced into the mother to develop.
Does exposure to cat scans cause lethal cell mutation?
It's possible because they are x-rays.
What is one possible consequence of mutation in a non-sex cell?
The formation of a tumor, which may or may not be cancerous.
What cell mutation can be inherited?
Sickle cell anemia is an example of a cell mutation that can be inherited.
