How would a mutation in skin cell differ from a mutation within a sperm or egg cell in relation to the theory of evolu tion?

1 answer:

If a mutation occurs in the skin cell, it only affects that individual. However, a mutation in the sperm or egg results in altered DNA, which can be passed onto the offspring. Eventually, this can result in genetic changes which are either favored or not. This relates to the survival of the fittest because those with mutations that help individuals survive pass those mutations onto their offspring.

Answer: There are several problems associated with handling of the squid.

Explanation:

Squid is a deep sea creature which becomes enormously big in size and difficult in handling in artificial water body or aquaculture.

It consumes and requires huge amount of food in the pre-larval stages typically phytoplankton and it becomes difficult to provide such food to them.

The maintenance of temperature, and salinity for the squid in aquaculture is difficult.

The sticky arms of the squid adhere to the surface of tub or human handler making it difficult to handle and can be poisonous to humans too.
