It is all dependent on where the mutation takes place. If, for example, there is a mutation in one of your skin cells, this will not be passed on to the offspring. This is because in order to pass it on to the offspring the mutation has to be present in the offspring itself. Since the offspring is created from the egg and sperm of the parents, the skin cell has nothing to do with the offspring. But if there was a mutation in the egg or the sperm, there would be some sort of mutation found in the offpspring.

∙ 8y agoThe offspring develops directly from sex cells after they meet, therefore all of the offspring's DNA comes from the sex cells.

Is Human Avian hybrid mutation possible after full development?
Well, we have no idea in knowing if there is mtation after full development, even if it does happen. the government would keep it hidden. futhermore, i would say maybe, it could be a possible mutation. yet, people is still trying to find a real avian hybrid mutation. though i think most has fail, only coming up with a avian influenza virus. well, i cant really share my opinion about it because i am not a scientist. but i am clearly looking into it. but i dont see why there cant be a mutation, there was plenty of others. or it because the DNAs cant combine for a unknowing reason??
Why cant patterns of inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas or fruit flies?

Can human intestines give birth to snakes?
no they cant unless they are out of the body No they can't under any circumstances
Why does the human offspring requires the longest period of learing?
the classic answers to this are 1: artificial evolution (if we cant fly, we build planes) and human dominance give our offspring no need to learn fast, whereas giraffe offspring will master walking 20 mins from birth because it is necessary for survival. or 2: because the human mind can take in a lot of knowledge by trying to take everything in at once makes them collectively slower.

What is a beneficial inherited trait that is passed on to future generations?
A beneficial inherited trait is a characteristic of a creature that is passed down in the DNA of the mother and father, via the sex cells, to the offspring. Imagine if giraffes all had very short necks, like a horse. They would only have access to the food on low bushes or at the bottom of trees. But, one giraffe, by freak chance (mutation in the DNA) has a slightly elongated neck. Because this giraffe has a longer neck, it can reach higher food. This means that it is less likely to go hungry, as it can reach food that the others cant, and is therefore more likely to survive to be a healthy adult. The giraffe with a longer neck then reproduces, and the trait is passed on to the offspring. The offspring then mates with others, and the gene is spread around the herd of giraffes. Eventually, all of the giraffes have slightly longer necks, which means they all have to share the same food again. Then a mutation causes another giraffe to get an EVEN LONGER neck, and the whole process is repeated, until giraffes all end up with really long necks, and the ones with short necks that cannot reach higher food become extict, as they cannot compete with the longer-necked giraffes.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of genetic testing?
Advantages of genetic testing include early detection of genetic disorders, personalized treatment plans, and informed decision-making about health risks. Disadvantages can include emotional impact of results, privacy concerns, and potential discrimination by insurers or employers based on genetic information.
