Any cell, other than red blood cells (which have no genetic material in them) can have mutations. In most cases these mutations are not inheritable, since most cells are not involved directly in the reproductive process. A cell that mutates may become cancerous. Beneficial mutations are rare, although important in the evolutionary process.

and that's what causes your stomach to hurt.
So when your stomach hurts you now will know that a mutation is happening in your stomach.

What could be a result from the presence of a mutation in an organisms sex cells?
You can have a baby with physical/mental deformities or death of the child.
How would a mutation affect the next generation?
If the mutation were in the gametes. Male and female reproductive cells.
What cell mutation can be inherited?
Sickle cell anemia is an example of a cell mutation that can be inherited.
What type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring?
Sex cells
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.
What mutation most likely can affect a cow offspring?
A mutation in egg cells
What could be a result from the presence of a mutation in an organisms sex cells?
You can have a baby with physical/mental deformities or death of the child.
Is a mutation passed on to new cells that are copied by it?
A mutation is passed on to new cells when the parent cell undergoes DNA replication in preparation for mitosis or meiosis. After DNA replication, mitotic cell division or meiotic cell division will occur, and the mutation will be passed on to the new cells. All of the cells produced by mitotic cell division will have the mutation and half of the cells produced by meiotic cell division will have the mutation.
What causes mutation in cells?
DNA polymerase
What starts cancer?
Radioactivity and mutation in your cells
How would a mutation affect the next generation?
If the mutation were in the gametes. Male and female reproductive cells.
What is a mutation that forms an oncogene that changes normal cells into cancerous cells?
to a gene
As a result of sexual reproduction an organism can pass a gene mutation to its offspring if the mutation occurs in?
germ cells
What is a gene mutation what is a chromosomal mutation?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
Will a mutation in a human skin cell pass on to the persons offspring?
If you are referring to a mutation in individual cells of the skin, then no.
What cell mutation can be inherited?
Sickle cell anemia is an example of a cell mutation that can be inherited.
Variation among pre-cells was due to?
Mutation
