What is the difference between somatic and germ line mutations?
A mutation occurring in a germ cell is heritable 50% of the time. Somatic cell mutations only affect the individual cell and its progeny produced by mitosis. Somatic cell mutations cannot be passed on to the organism's 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.
Mutations in the DNA of genes can be passed on to offspring?
Yes. this is possible but depend on the change in the gene which can inherited the character or change which acquired temporarily. for e.g. if we take a vaccine of poleo it doesn't make any change in our offspring cause it is acquired but if we make change in our DNA sequence by the vector which is not temporary will seen in offspring with a need dependent improvement.
Why are mutation that occur body cells not pass on to its offspring?
Mutations that occur in body cells typically affect only the individual and are not passed on to offspring because they do not affect the genetic material in reproductive cells (sperm and eggs). Only mutations in the germline cells (sperm and eggs) can be passed down to offspring.
Ultraviolet radiation can cause mutations in the DNA of skin cells that have been overexposed to the sun This mutated DNA has no effect on future offspring because?
mutations in skin cells do not affect germline cells, which are responsible for passing DNA to offspring. Only mutations in germline cells can be passed down to future generations. Skin cell mutations typically only impact the individual with the mutation.
What are the two types of mutations in gamete cells?
The two types of mutations in gamete cells are germ-line mutations, which occur in the sperm or egg cells and can be passed down to offspring, and somatic mutations, which take place in other body cells and are not passed on to offspring.
Can mutation be passed along to human offspring through meiosis and mitosis?
Yes, mutations can be passed along to human offspring through both meiosis and mitosis. Mutations that occur in the germ cells during meiosis can be passed on to offspring, while mutations that occur in somatic cells during mitosis can potentially lead to a mosaic pattern of mutated and normal cells in an individual.
What is a genetic characteristic that is passed down from parent its offspring?
INHERITED for A~plus
What will determine the genotype of an organism?
The alleles that are passed from parents to offspring
Why is heredity important?
it's a genetic trait that is passed down from the parent to there offspring.
When a change in the DNA of an organism which affects the gametes and can be passed down to offspring?
Genetic mutations help an organism adapt to the environment they live in. So hypothetically yes, but some mutations can create infertile off-springs which in-turn stops the mutation from being passed down. It depends mostly on the change in the DNA and weather or not the organism will continue to pass on the trait.
What are some Traits that are passed down from parent to offspring?
eyes hair height skin color

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.
How are traits passed down from parent to child?
Traits are passed down from parent to child through genes, which are segments of DNA. Each parent contributes one set of genes to their offspring, determining the genetic characteristics that the child inherits. This process is known as heredity.
Mutations in the DNA of genes can be passed on to offspring?
Yes. this is possible but depend on the change in the gene which can inherited the character or change which acquired temporarily. for e.g. if we take a vaccine of poleo it doesn't make any change in our offspring cause it is acquired but if we make change in our DNA sequence by the vector which is not temporary will seen in offspring with a need dependent improvement.
What is the passage of traits from parent to offspring call?
The passage of traits from parent to offspring is called heredity. DNA, which contains genetic information, is passed down from parents to their offspring and determines the inherited traits such as eye color, height, and blood type.
