Answer:

C). Germline mutations are inherited from a parent while somatic mutations are caused by mutagens in the environment.

Explanation:

MUTATION is any change that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene whether caused by a mistake during DNA replication or induced by mutagens (mutation-causing substance). A mutation can be germline or somatic depending on the affected area or how it occured.

Germline mutations are mutations that affects the nucleotide sequence in a gamete or reproductive cell (germline cells). Hence, it can be inherited by an offspring during reproduction. On the other hand, somatic mutations affect body cells. It is a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene in the body cell or somatic cell. It is usually induced by mutation-causing substances in the environment called MUTAGENS. Somatic mutations can not be transferred to offsprings and it only affects the cells of the specific area it occured.

Answer:

Somatic vs Germline Mutations. ... Somatic mutations – occur in a single body cell and cannot be inherited (only tissues derived from mutated cell are affected) Germline mutations – occur in gametes and can be passed onto offspring (every cell in the entire organism will be affected)

Human proteins, such as insulin, can be produced by bacterial cells. this is possible because _____. all organisms have the same

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

all organisms share a common genetic code

Explanation:

Bacteria has been genetically modified to produce human insulin protein via genetic recombination. The gene coding for human protein is inserted in bacterial plasmid and then returned back to the bacteria. This arrangement allows faster and inexpensive way of insulin production.

Human insulin gene can be inserted into bacterial DNA because in the end all the organisms share a common genetic code. Genetic code is used by all organisms for gene expression forming the resultant protein. It is dependent on the information carried by the nucleotide triplets which finally get translated. Genetic code is universal which means the triplets will always code for the same amino acid no matter the organism hence bacteria can be used to produce a human protein if the gene can be made available to it.

The answer is false. The reason is: Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it. For this reason, heterotrophs are also known as consumers.
