A mutation is passed on to new cells when the parent cell undergoes DNA replication in preparation for mitosis or meiosis. After DNA replication, mitotic cell division or meiotic cell division will occur, and the mutation will be passed on to the new cells. All of the cells produced by mitotic cell division will have the mutation and half of the cells produced by meiotic cell division will have the mutation.

How can a mutation in a human skin cell be passed on to the person's offspring?
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). we need something a 6th 7th and 8th graders teachers will believe we did ourselves please from me the person who thinks
What is a sentence with the word replication?
DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of the cell.
Do neww cells have the same or different genetic material as the parent cell?
In the future, be more specific in your question. It is impossible for one to know whether you meant mitosis, meiosis, or otherwise from your question. Assuming mitosis, they are genetically identical outside of mutations.
What is the difference between somatic and gametic cells?
a germline mutation is one the was passed on to offspring because the egg or sperm cell was mutated. a somatic mutation is a mutation of the somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) that cannot be passed on to offspring.
What is the major source of new alleles in natural populations?
Mutations are the major source of new alleles in natural populations. Mutations are random changes in the DNA sequence that can create new genetic variations. These variations can then be passed on to future generations through reproduction, contributing to genetic diversity in a population.
DNA code is what before being passed to new cells?
Before being passed to new cells, the DNA code is duplicated during the process of cell division. This ensures that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic instructions.
What is a change in a gene due to damage or being copied incorrectly called?
A change in a gene due to damage or being copied incorrectly is called a mutation. This alteration can result in changes to the gene's function or produce new traits in an organism.

Which macromolecules are copied and pass genetic informaation to the new cells?
DNA molecules are copied and pass genetic information to the new cells. The process of coping is called replication. Nucleotide is the unit of DNA molecule.
Why must DNA be able to be copied?
DNA must be able to be copied in order for cells to divide and for organisms to reproduce. This ensures that genetic information is passed on to the next generation, maintaining the genetic integrity and diversity of the species. DNA replication also allows for the repair of damaged DNA and provides a mechanism for genetic variation through mutation.
Why are chromosome copied before mitosis?
After Mitosis, the result is 2 new, identical, daughter cells. In order for each to be identical, the chromosomes must be copied.
What is the difference between somatic and gametic cells?
a germline mutation is one the was passed on to offspring because the egg or sperm cell was mutated. a somatic mutation is a mutation of the somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) that cannot be passed on to offspring.
Is the only possible source of new genetic material?
mutations recombination/crossing over in mammals
In which step would a mutation lead directly to the formation of an altered gene -?
DNA is copied and each new cell gets a full copy.
Why is dna copied in mitsosis?
To produce exact copy of it for the formation of new body cells.
