Gametic cells

Mutations on somatic cells cannot be passed down to offspring. Rather mutations born on gametic cells are what can be passed down. This is because gametes are the cells involved in fertilization to form zygote that develops into individual organisms.  

Explanation:

Mutation on gametic cells can occur within the time from the pre-gametic cell to the formation of a mature gamete such as sperm or egg.

Radiation from nuclear reactor accidents in Japan in April 2011, may damage the cell of the body both somatic and gametic. But only those in the gametic cells are passed down Children born to these Japanese people. Radiation causes double-stranded breaks in DNA that are hard to repair by repair mechanisms in the cell leading to mutations.

makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

The amount of blood that leaves the left ventricle of the heart with each contraction is called Stroke volume.

A person has a stroke volume of 80 ml/beat. It means that it is 80 milliliters per beat.

We need to find how many liters would that be.

We know that, 1 litre = 1000 milliliters

1 mL = 0.001 L

To convert 80 mL to litres, we can do it as follows :

80 mL = (80 × 0.001) LL

= 0.08 L

Hence, he stroke volume of a person is 0.08 L/beat.
