A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to your offspring and to their offspring as well. Therefore, its effect is greater than that of a somatic mutation.
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.
If you mean in DNA transcription: 1. have no effect 2. produce a mutation 3. cause death of the cell in which this is happening
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.
A mutation taking place in brain cell can't be passed on to next generation but it may cause a tumor .
The mutation must be present in the egg cell (oocyte) of the woman in order for it to be passed on to her offspring. Sperm cells from the father do not contain the cytoplasm that would carry the mutation.
Most of the time, a mutation in a virus results in better ability to infect a host cell and more resistance to the host cell's defenses.
The otter's offspring will not survive.
A mutation in a sperm or egg cell means that the mutation while most likely be passed down to the offspring of that organism. If the mutation is in anything but a gamete, it will not be passed down.
The offspring will have abnormal eyes--APEX

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.
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
A mutation in a sex cell, such as a sperm or egg cell, can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations. In contrast, a mutation in a non-sex cell will only affect the individual and is not passed on to offspring.
