What is germ mutation?
a germ mutataion is when a germ mutates..also you ain't from tha grove potna signed Lil Capp YouTube me!
When does a mutation have the mutation impact on allele frequency?
When the population is small or When there is no gene flow Small population, germ line mutation, beneficial mutation that gets into many progeny and a good deal of luck.
What type of mutation results in a gene change in the body's reproductive cells?
Generally, a germ line mutation or sex cell mutation. Could be anything from a point mutation, one amino acid difference, to a whole frame shift mutation.
What cell mutation can be inherited?
Mutations in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) can be inherited. These mutations can be passed down from parents to their offspring through their genetic material.
How mutations can affect organisms?
It depends on if it is in the germ line or in a somatic Cell. In the germ line a mutation can cause birth defects or lethal mutations. In somatic Cells it can cause cancer. The Genetic Mutation will have either of these effects: either beneficial or detrimental.
Why are somatic mutations generally less important than germ mutations?
Because the somatic mutation only produces the color of the iris of the eye. The germ mutation is in charge of the cell which will produce a gamete. It may be passed onto the offspring. So the somatic mutation isn't as important as the germ mutation.
When does mutation have a most impact on Allele frequency?
When the population is small or When there is no gene flow Small population, germ line mutation, beneficial mutation that gets into many progeny and a good deal of luck.
Can a germ mutation be passed on to offspring?
Sometimes. It really depends on what it is.
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
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a?
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a germ cell, such as an egg or sperm cell. Mutations in other types of cells, like skin cells, do not get passed on to offspring.
What will mutation do if it does not occur in sex cells?
Mutations which do not occur in sex cells are not passed on to the next generation. The mutation will only affect the individual. They could therefore have normal offspring.
What kind of cell has to have a mutation in order to be passed on to offspring?
Germ cells, specifically eggs and sperm, must have a mutation in order for it to potentially be passed on to offspring. These mutations can occur during the process of cell division that produces these specialized reproductive cells. Any mutation that arises in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) will not be passed on to offspring.
