False
Bacteria are known as decomposers and feed off waste or dead organisms while viruses are known as parasites and are a small collection of genetic code that surrounds a protein and infects a host cell to produce more replicas of itself. This process usually kills the host cell.
The mutation in the somatic cells is known as somatic mutations. As they do not take place in the cells, which give rise to gametes, thus, the mutation is not inherited to the next generation by the sexual means.
On the other hand, the genetic mutations take place in the germline cells, that is, egg and sperm, because of this the mutations possesses the tendency to get passed on from one generation to another.
Thus, mutations are only passed on to offspring when they take place in germ cell DNA. The other kind of cells, the somatic cells refers to the rest of the cells in the body and mutations, which takes place in these cells do not get inherited further to the offspring.
Hence, the correct statements are mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring and mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.
Answer:
C is correct from my point of view too
Explanation:
<span>Each two different individuals share any bands of the same length. So, the statement is true. Each band is represented in a certain percentage of the population, so even unrelated individuals have a few bands in common.</span>
