What will mutation do if it occurs in a sex cell?
There offspring with mutations
A mutation that occurs in a diploid cell can be inherited only if?
Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
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 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.
Why wouldn't mutation in a lung cell be passed on to offspring?
A mutation is an alteration in the DNA of the cell. Because the mutation is not "part" of the original DNA of your body, it cannot be passed onto your offspring
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a?
a cell wall
Is a mutation that occurs during the formation of an egg cell or sperm cell more significant than a mutation that occurs in a body cell?
yes because it is genetic therefore can be passed on
What will mutation do if it occurs in a sex cell?
There offspring with mutations
How can a mutation be passed on to offspring?
A mutation can be passed on if it occurs in a sex cell. This is because offspring have a copy of the parent's genetic code, so any mutation that is present here will also be present in the offspring.
Will a mutation that occurs in a skin cell be passed on to organism offspring?
Depends on how likely the mutation is to occur (how dominate) and on the genetics of the other parent. If the offspring is a clone, the mutation will be passed from parent to clone.
Could a mutation in a cell in the liver of a human be passed on?
For a mutation to be passed onto the next generation it must be on sex chromosome. If mutation occurs in somatic cells of our body, it will not be passed on to the offspring(s). Mutation that changes one or few base pairs in the DNA is called point mutation.
A mutation that occurs in a diploid cell can be inherited only if?
Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
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.
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 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.
