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.

qaws [65]

Answer:

sigma subunit

Explanation:

Sigma subunit of RNA polymerase holoenzyme directs the enzyme towards the consensus sequences present upstream of the transcription start site. Completion of the initiation phase of transcription is followed by dissociation of sigma subunit from the transcription complex.

The protein NusA replaces the sigma subunit. The RNA polymerase leaves the promoter and starts the elongation

If a pea plant has a genotype SSTt what are the possible genetic combinations that could be present ina single grain of pollen p
Evgesh-ka [11]
Correct answer: D

A pollen is where male gametes are produced and so the number of chromosomes, as we are talking about gametes, is n. This means that the grain of pollen will only have a copy of each gene, and therefore only one allele for each gene - one S, and one T or t. So, the possible combinations are ST and St.
