If a person with a mutation reproduces, there is a chance that the mutation may be inherited by their offspring. Whether the mutation will be passed on and expressed in future generations depends on the type of mutation and its mode of inheritance. Some mutations are harmful, while others can be neutral or even beneficial.

Why are some types of mutation inherited?
If a mutation happens, it will be helpful, harmful or neutral. Whether they are passed on to offspring depends on several things.Obviously, whether the organism gets a chance to reproduce.Whether the organism manages to survive long enough to reproduce, which it is unlikely to do if the mutation is harmful.Whether the gametes which are successful in the process of fertilization happen to contain that gene.
What happens when a mutation is helpful to a species?
8i
What would happen if a single nucleotide mistake were made in the replication process?
it cased that a another nucleotide replaces primary nucleotide and happens mutation.
What happens when there is a mutation in a 5' UTR of mRNA?
If there is a mutation in the 5' UTR no change in the protein function and abundance will happen.
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 could be described as a chromosomal mutation?
Chromosomal mutation can have lasting impacts on the person who this happens to. A version of a chromosomal mutation is the mutation that leads to Down's Syndrome.

A change in the genetic material of a cell is called?
Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.

What is the cause of ichtyosis disease?
Ichthyosis is mainly caused by a gene mutation. Chances of the child developing this skin disorder is 50%. With this mutated gene, the person's skin cells reproduce to quickly to be shed or the skin cells reproduce at a normal rate yet sheds slowly.
What happens to plants and animals when a climate change like a ice age happens?
Those not suited for the change will die, but the very few that survive starvation will go one to reproduce. Over many generations, genetic mutation will fit the organism into a niche suited for that environment.
What would happen if a single nucleotide mistake were made in the replication process?
it cased that a another nucleotide replaces primary nucleotide and happens mutation.
What happens when there is a mutation in a 5' UTR of mRNA?
If there is a mutation in the 5' UTR no change in the protein function and abundance will happen.
What happens when animals reproduce?

Where cystic fibrosis happens?
In the DNA: a mutation on chromosome 7
The abnormal cell function that causes cancer?
mutation, it causes cells to reproduce abnormaly fast, creating tumors
Why is it possible for a point mutation to have no effect on an individual's fitness?
A point mutation may have no effect on an individual's fitness if it occurs in a non-coding region of the DNA or if it results in a silent mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence of a protein. In these cases, the mutation does not impact the individual's ability to survive and reproduce, so it does not affect their fitness.
