A mutation in a germ cell (sperm or egg) may be passed to the woman and her offspring during fertilization. If the mutation occurs in the sperm or egg, it can be incorporated into the genetic material of the resulting zygote, leading to heritable changes in the offspring. This type of mutation can affect the offspring's traits and potentially contribute to genetic disorders.

Which type of cell must contain a mutation in order for the mutation to be passed from a woman to her offspring?

The mutation must occur in the egg cell of the woman in order for it to be passed on to her offspring. Sperm cells do not contribute mitochondria or other materials to the offspring during fertilization, so mutations in a man's sperm cells are not passed on in the same way.


What type of cell must contain a mutation in order for the mutation to be passed from a women to her offspring?

The mutation must be present in the egg cell (oocyte) of the woman in order for it to be passed on to her offspring. Sperm cells from the father do not contain the cytoplasm that would carry the mutation.


How do gamates go to the over to offspring?

Gametes are individual DNA strands that all have a pair. In a human, the male has 23 in each sperm cell, and the woman has 23 in each egg cell. When the sperm and egg cell combine, the gametes combine and form matching pairs (not genetically identical) and then a zygote forms. The gametes are what makes up the genetical information of the zygote, which will eventualy grow inot a newborn. These gametes confirm what gender the baby will be, what they will look like ect. These gametes can also pass on disease - for example, a gamete with a mutation that causes down's syndrome.


What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring when a tall man marries a short woman?

The phenotypic ratio of the offspring when a tall man marries a short woman is 3:1 (tall/short). The phenotypic ratio is figured by using the punnet square with the dominant allele for tall and the recessive allele for the short gene.

A recessive lethal gene exists in a population and remains for several generations Which woman could have passed the recessive lethal allele to offspring but not have the disease herself?

a woman who is heterozygous for the gene


Is it possible for a woman to have kids and the kids dont have the same DNA as her?

Not unless the woman was not using her own eggs during gestation. Otherwise, maternal RNA is preserved during fertilization and would be present in all offspring.
