Answer:

A is false

Explanation:

Mutation is a change that occurs in the DNA nucleotide sequence either due to mistakes when DNA is copied during cell division or as a result of environmental factors e.g. UV radiation.

Since all the cells of an organism contains DNA, there are lots of places mutation can occur. However, some mutations are not passed from parents to offsprings and do not matter for evolution. This form of mutation is called Somatic or acquired mutation and it occurs in non-reproductive cells. Hence, won't be passed down from parents to offsprings. This form of mutation majorly occurs when DNA cells get replicated during mitosis or when the cell is exposed to harsh environmental factors that damages DNA strands e.g Ultraviolet radiation.

Mutations are only hereditary i.e can be passed down from parents to offsprings, if they occur in reproductive cells (sperms and eggs). This kind of mutation is called Germ-line mutation.

According to the question, mutations must not always occur in the parents before an offsprings DNA undergoes mutation.

Answer:

A

Parents do not need to have the mutation for their offspring to have it. Mutations can be present even without the parent having it.

In this mass spectrum, which peak most likely represents the molecular ion?.
Finger [1]
The presence of the base peak at 45 in combination with our knowledge about the nitrogen rule suggests that the peak at m/z 60 is likely the molecular ion because even molecular ions usually produce odd molecular fragments by breaking single bonds.

Evolution acts upon the population of organisms and not on each individual organism
Marina86 [1]

Evolution can be defined as the process of changes in the genetic pool of a population over time. The process of natural selection operates the evolution of any population. Evolution acts upon a whole population instead upon on single individual. A single individual doesn't evolve, instead ratios of the genetic types within a population changes when it is evolving, and eventually, complete evolution occurs.

Hence, the given answer is 'true'.
