How are mutations are inherited?

If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.


How can mutation occurs in cells?

Mutations can be inherited. This means that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.Mutations can be acquired. This happens when environmental agents damage DNA, or when mistakes occur when a cell copies its DNA prior to cell division.


What difference does it make if a mutation occurs in a somatic cell or in a gamete?

If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell and the cell is still able to reproduce, the mutation continues in the daughter cells in following generations. If a mutation occurs in a gamete, the original organism remains unchanged. If that gamete is used for reproduction, then the mutation will continue in the offspring.


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.

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.


Are human body gamete cells haploid or diploid?

From a text book.. diploid cell- In an organism that reproduses sexually, a cell containing two homologous sets of chromosomes, one set of inherited from each parent; a 2n cell haploid cell- In the life cycle of an organism that reproduces sexually, a cell containing a single set of chromosomes; an n cell ...diploid?
