A greater amount of DNA damage occurs when a living organism is exposed to a greater amount of a radioactive isotope. How might this affect the number of mutations acquired by the organism?
More mutations will be acquired, leading to more phenotypic changes.
Can explain sudden changes in inheritance patterns?
mutations
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
Which mutation in a fruit fly could be passed on to its offspring?
a mutation in a sperm cell changes the shape of the wing *remember* - only mutations in primary sex cells, sperm and egg, can be pass on to offspring.
Mutations that occur in germ-line cells are?
Somatic mutations occur in somatic body cells. These mutations are passed on to daughter cells during mitosis and to the offspring of those cells in turn, but are not passed on to sexually produced offspring.

When changes occur in the genes of sex cells these changes?
are called mutations. Mutations in sex cells can be passed onto offspring and may result in genetic disorders or variations in characteristics.
