What else can I help you with?
What type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring?
Sex cells
What cells need to have mutation in order to pass it on to offspring?
The gametes (sex cells): sperm and egg.
Are leaves and stems sexual or asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction means the combining of cells and DNA from two organisms. Plants do not have sex or combine their cells with any other plants in any way. This creates offspring that are identical to the plant.
How does a mutation in a sex cells differ from a mutation in a non sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
What changes occur in the genes of sex cells?
In sex cells, or gametes, genetic changes occur primarily through two processes: meiosis and genetic recombination. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo crossing over, leading to the exchange of genetic material between them, which creates genetic diversity. Additionally, mutations can occur in the DNA of sex cells, which may be passed on to offspring. These changes contribute to the genetic variation essential for evolution and adaptation.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
Which is the process that creates sex cells?
Meiosis
What type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring?
Sex cells
What is a nuclear division that forms sex cells?
The answer is meiosis, as it creates cells.
When sex cells combine to produce offspring sex cell will contribute what?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
What type of cells does the reproductive system produce?
TO PRODUCE SEX CELLS involved in the production of offspring
What cells need to have mutation in order to pass it on to offspring?
The gametes (sex cells): sperm and egg.
Are leaves and stems sexual or asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction means the combining of cells and DNA from two organisms. Plants do not have sex or combine their cells with any other plants in any way. This creates offspring that are identical to the plant.
What cell process creates sex cells?
The process that creates sex cells is called meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, essential for sexual reproduction.
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell contributes?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute how many chromosomes?
a baby
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.
