Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
How are sex linked mutations and gene mutations alike how are they different?
Sex-linked mutations and gene mutations are alike in that both involve changes to the DNA sequence that can affect an organism's traits or functions. However, they differ in their location and inheritance patterns: sex-linked mutations occur on the sex chromosomes (X or Y), typically affecting traits associated with gender, while gene mutations can occur on any chromosome and affect a wide range of traits regardless of sex. Additionally, sex-linked mutations are often passed down differently in males and females due to their association with sex chromosomes.
How many of sex chomosome and autosome are in a human somatic cell?
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
What is the difference between sex chromosomes and autosomes?
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
Does somatic cells contain sex chromosomes?
Yes, somatic cells contain sex chromosomes. In humans, somatic cells typically contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, including one pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males).

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.
Are mutations in somatic cells heritable?
Nothing in somatic cells is inheritable unless it shows up in the gametes as well. As such, if a somatic cell experiences a mutation, it can only affect that cell and any cell it creates.
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
What is the difference between sex chromosomes and autosomes?
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
Is a zygote somatic?
Yes; it is not a sex cell and it has 2n=46 chromosomes, whereas sex cells have n=23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are there in each somatic cell?
That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)
How many chromosomes in the sex cells of a dog?
Dogs have 39 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells. Sex cells (sperm and eggs) are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Therefore, the sex cells of a dog have 39 chromosomes.
