∙ 10y agoA mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to an offspring and cause a genetic disorder in the offspring. A mutation in a body cell will not affect an offspring, but may cause a tumor which could be cancerous.

How does a mutation in a sex differ from a from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a non-sex cell cannot be passed on to an offspring.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation is a non sex cell?

Sex cell mutation incorporates altered DNA into which cells of the offspring's body?
Sex cells
Explain why a mutation in a sperm or egg cell has different consequences that one in a heart cell?
A mutation in a sperm or egg cell means that the mutation while most likely be passed down to the offspring of that organism. If the mutation is in anything but a gamete, it will not be passed down.
What is the most likely effect of a frameshift mutation occurring in a sex cell of an adult otter where the mutation is on a gene that produces proteins used to build bones?
The otter's offspring will not survive.

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.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ in 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.

Difference between body cell mutation and sex cell mutation?
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 will mutation do if it occurs in a sex cell?
There offspring with mutations
Why does a mutation in a sex cell have potential for great effect?
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to your offspring and to their offspring as well. Therefore, its effect is greater than that of a somatic mutation.
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.
