Which type of mutation is seen in a sperm cell but not in a skin cell?

Biology
1 answer:
katovenus [111]2 years ago

Answer:

An alteration in DNA that occurs after conception. Somatic mutations can occur in any of the cells of the body except the germ cells (sperm and egg) and therefore are not passed on to children. These alterations can (but do not always) cause cancer or other diseases.

Explanation:

when a skin stem cell harbors a cancer-driving mutation, it becomes more likely to generate two specialized skin cells when it divides. Over time, the mutated skin stem cell fails to renew itself and turns into cells that eventually slough off, allowing the skin to expel mutated cells as needed.

Errors in DNA copying during cell division and development can cause new mutations — called de novo mutations — at any time from the moment of conception. Mutations that occur in the germ line — the cells that develop into sperm or eggs — can be passed on to the next generation and, perhaps, cause disease in children.

This is known as aversion therapy. Here, a patient is concurrently exposed to a stimulus, typically an addiction, and some form of discomfort. The idea behind this is that the patient will associate the addiction with unpleasant experiences. In this way, it is hoped that the patient will overcome his/her addiction. This sort of therapy has taken many forms. The more common form is for example to paint unpleasant-tasting nail polish on one's nails to discourage nail chewing. More extreme forms include electric shock therapy.

________ thousands of tiny projections that add even more surface area to villi​
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Each villus, in turn, has thousands of even smaller projections called microvilli (singular: microvillus).

Explanation:

The villi contain capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels. Nutrients are absorbed into these capillaries across the surfaces of the villi and microvilli. Because there are millions of these tiny projections, they greatly increase the surface area for absorption.

Describe how each of Newton’s laws may be observable during a car trip.
aleksandrvk [35]
According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Also if a car was going straight but another car (unbalanced force) bumps into it causing the motion of the car to change.
