It can't. A new mutation in a somatic cell will not influence the genetic composition of the progeny except in cases where the mutation affects the carrying out of reproduction. This is because the gametes (ova or sperm) only come from the reproductive tissue (ovaries, seminiferous tubule in the testes).

What can predict whether a mutation in a human skin cell can be passed to its offspring?

A mutation in a human skin cannot be passed on to an offspring, since it is only a somatic mutation which is acquired. The mutation that can be passed on to an offspring is called a germline mutation, which happens in the egg and sperm.


Will a mutation in a human skin cell pass on to the persons offspring?

If you are referring to a mutation in individual cells of the skin, then no.


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.


Why cant mutation in a human cell be passed to an offspring?

Mutations that occur in somatic cells, such as skin or muscle cells, are not passed on to offspring because they do not affect the genetic material in sperm or egg cells. Only mutations that occur in germ cells, which are involved in forming eggs or sperm, can be 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.


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 Germ line mutation to somatic mutation?

germ line muttations are muttations that are hereditable, meaning it is passed on to offspring, and must be in a reproductive cell, such as a human sperm cell. somatic muttations are muttations that are not hereditable. this occors in non reproductive cells, such as an apple seed. hope this helped

When was Human Mutation created?

Human Mutation was established in 1992 as a scientific journal focusing on research related to mutations in humans.


What is a human offspring called?

A human offspring is commonly referred to as a child.


In human reproduction when are traits passed from parent to offspring?

Traits are passed from parent to offspring during the process of reproduction which involves the combination of genetic material from both parents. This occurs during fertilization when the sperm and egg cells unite to form a zygote, which then develops into an offspring with a unique combination of traits inherited from both parents.


What is human offspring?

Human offspring refers to the biological descendants of two human parents. Offspring inherit genetic information from their parents, which determines their physical characteristics and traits. They are the next generation of individuals within the human species.
