Why would a mutation in a gamete have more profound biological consequences than in a somatic cell?

So the main difference here is that a somatic cell is all the cell's in your body except for your reproductive cells. Those reproductive cells are called gametes. So, when a mutation occurs in a somatic cell, it really doesn't do much because it's one cell out of trillions in your body. However if a mutation occurs within a gamete, that gamete gets inherited in the offspring during sexual reproduction, and become the *blueprint* for an entire human being. That small mutation would be present in every cell throughout the whole body. Thus, that is why a mutation in a gamete, has much more severe biological consequences vs a mutation in a somatic cell. Hope this helped!

Mutation in a few somatic cells in your complete collection of millions of somatic cells normally isn't a difficulty because most cells simply die or self-destruct (apoptosis) and when it is a query when these cells don't all die its cancer. But a modification in a gamete if transferred to an offspring, every cell in the offspring's body will have that mutation. sometimes the mutation produces such a great impression that an offspring cannot even be produced. a mutation in a gamete can probably be passed on to the next generation. A mutation in a physical cell passes when the organism deteriorates.

First eliminate choices C and D since they both mention that fact 1 is crossing over ( which is also referred to as genetic recombination) . So you're left with A and B and the correct answer is B .

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is  the formation of pyruvate from glucose willl be energetically less favorable.

Explanation:

According to the question matunt yeast has a shorter glycolytic pathay catalysing a follwing reaction

 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate+H2O+NAD+  = 3-phosphoglycerate

So in the mutatant the formation of 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is directly converted into 3-phosphoglycerate.

    As a result the substrate level phosphorylation step that deals with formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3  bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.

  From this point of view it can be said that less energy will be formed in the mutant during glycolysis than that of normal one.

 So the formation of pyruvate from glucose will be energetically less favorable.
