Why cant a skin mutation in human skin cell be passed on t another persn spring?

A skin mutation in human skin cells cannot be passed on to another person because these mutations occur in somatic cells, which are not involved in reproduction. Only genetic changes in germ cells (sperm and egg) can be inherited. Therefore, while skin mutations can affect an individual's health or appearance, they do not affect the genetic material that is transmitted to offspring.


Can a girl get pregnant if you touch a damp spot of sperm on your boxers with your finger wipe your finger off and put a spermicidal condom on with that same finger and stick it in her vagina?

AnswerNo, the damp spot contains living sperm cells, but the act of wiping it off your finger and using a spermicidal condom has reduced the probability to < 0.01%. the pregnancy is from another introduction of sperm cells AnswerNo she cant get pregnant that way and honestly if you don't know how a girl gets pregnant you obviously don't need to be having sex. Comment to second answer: There are plenty of people that are ignorant about pregnancy. That still doesn't stop them from getting pregnant. Also, whenever sperm has the potential to make contact with the female reproductive system there is always a chance for pregnancy, no matter how small the odds.

Why cant a horse and donkey mate?

Yes, a donkey can get pregnant from horse sperm. Not many people breed animals like this anymore, but that is how people use to get light weighted horses, but it was usually a horse getting pregnant from donkey sperm. Any animal of the same species can get pregnant from each other. For example, a dog and a wolf, a wolf and a coyote, a tiger and a lion, a horse and a zebra, a horse and a donkey, all of these are possible.
