What cell mutation can be inherited?
Sickle cell anemia is an example of a cell mutation that can be inherited.
A mutation that occurs in a diploid cell can be inherited only if?
Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation that results in?
Sickle-cell anemia would be best described as a mutation of the haemoglobin gene. This is a blood disorder which is inherited in most cases.
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 is the natural causes of mutations?
1.)Mutations can be inherited. This means if a parent has a mutation in his/her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to the child.2.)Mutations can be acquired. This happens when a mistake accurs when a cell copies its DNA.3.)Mutations can occur by a hidden gene. This happens when your ancestor(for example, "grandma") has the mutation and that mutation is passed on to every other girl(for example), then the girl will get the mutation.

How are mutations are inherited?
If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.

Sickle-cell anemia would be best described as a mutation of the haemoglobin gene. This is a blood disorder which is inherited in most cases.
How can mutation occurs in cells?
Mutations can be inherited. This means that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.Mutations can be acquired. This happens when environmental agents damage DNA, or when mistakes occur when a cell copies its DNA prior to cell division.
Are mutations heritable?
If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on.
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.
Is sickle cell disease recessive?
Yes, Sickle Cell-Anemia is a genetic condition that is passed down from one generation to the other.
A change in the genetic material of a cell is called?
Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.
Is sickle cell disease inherited in biracial children?
what's biracial mean
Are mutations in somatic cells heritable?
Nothing in somatic cells is inheritable unless it shows up in the gametes as well. As such, if a somatic cell experiences a mutation, it can only affect that cell and any cell it creates.
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.
