A mutation in egg cells
What else can I help you with?
What mutations would most likely affect a person's offspring?
Mutations in the germline cells (sperm and egg cells) are most likely to affect a person's offspring because these cells carry genetic information that is passed on to the next generation. Mutations in somatic cells (body cells) are not usually passed on to offspring. Additionally, mutations in genes involved in reproduction or development are more likely to have an impact on offspring.
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee the mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye what best describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The offspring will have abnormal eyes--APEX
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult rabbit. The gene affected by the mutation is responsible for proteins that build heart muscles. what describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The point mutation in the sex cell of the rabbit could lead to a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein responsible for building heart muscles. If this mutation alters the protein's structure or function, it could result in compromised heart muscle development or function in the offspring. However, if the mutation is silent or does not significantly affect protein function, the offspring may not exhibit any noticeable heart issues. Overall, the most likely effect would depend on the specific nature of the mutation and its impact on protein function.
Explain why a mutation in a sperm or egg cell has different consequences than 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 mutations would most likely affect a cow's offspring?

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.
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee. The mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye. Which describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The point mutation may lead to a change in the protein coded by the gene, potentially affecting eye development in the offspring of the chimpanzee. Depending on the specific nature of the mutation, it could result in a range of eye-related conditions, from minor changes to more significant developmental abnormalities.
Which of the following situations is most usual for a dominant allele that results in severe effects in the offspring?
The trait occurs by mutation.
If mutation in a mans gametes would MOST LIKELY result in what?
A mutation in a man's gametes (sperm) would most likely result in genetic changes that could be passed on to his offspring. This could lead to various outcomes, including potential genetic disorders, altered traits, or increased susceptibility to certain diseases in the next generation. The specific effects depend on the nature of the mutation and whether it occurs in a gene that is crucial for development or health.
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.
What is the most likely example of a favorable mutation?
A mutation that makes a rabbit able to run faster.
