a chromosomal alternation during gamete formation
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can a Mutation can be called a Deformity?
A mutation can be called a deformity, because a mutation is passed on, it is like a gene being passed down the pedigree, and in the pedigree there can be a deformity that will be passed on to the next generation. :.
What mutation occurs in a brain cell this mutation will be passed on to?
A mutation taking place in brain cell can't be passed on to next generation but it may cause a tumor .
How are mutations passed from on generation to the next?
The DNA replicates with the mutation on it, spreading it
If a parent had an egg or sperm cell would the mutation be passed on?
yes, actually. when a sex cell is damaged, the mutations can be passed from generation to generation
How can mutation affect the mRNA?
Mutations not only change the DNA, but a change to the DNA will change the mRNA. This explains why a mutation in one generation can be passed on to the next generation.
What will mutation do if it does not occur in sex cells?
Mutations which do not occur in sex cells are not passed on to the next generation. The mutation will only affect the individual. They could therefore have normal offspring.
Can a cat eye syndromoe chromosomal mutation be passed on to the next generation?
Potentially, any genetic mutation can be passed on...... i think to tell you the truth WOT THE HELLL U ON ABOUT
What is the result of mutation during of meiosis?
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.
How would a mutation affect the next generation?
A mutation can be passed on to the next generation if it occurs in the germ cells (sperm and egg cells). The impact of the mutation on the next generation can vary depending on whether it is beneficial, harmful, or neutral. Over time, mutations can contribute to genetic diversity and evolution in a population.
Where does a mutation have to occur for it to passed to the next generation?
In the cells that will divide to become eggs or sperm (or the eggs or sperm themselves).
What will mutation do if it occurs in a sex cell?
There offspring with mutations
