How are genetic mutations passed from parent to offspring?

Biology

Genetic mutations are passed from parent to offspring by mutated gametes (sex cells) which are fuse to create offspring.

Further Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the major method of reproduction in a variety of organisms. All the plants and animals majorly undergo sexual reproduction. The main process in sexual reproduction is:

  • Meiosis
  • Fertilization

Fertilization is a process of the fusion of gametes which are sperm and egg results in the diploid zygote. In meiosis ploidy level of germ cell get halved. Meiosis involves crossing over in between the non-sister chromatid of the homologous chromosome thus leads to genetic variation.

Germline or genetic mutations can be defined as the lasting change in the sequence of germ cell (sperm and ovum) DNA. These mutations can inherit from one generation to another. If a mutated gametes such as oocytes or sperm fuses with other. After fertilization, meiosis occurs and crossing over takes place which transfer the genetic information from parents to offspring. If the genetic information contains mutated gene that is also pass from parents to offspring.

Ans. (B). Mutated gametes (sex cells) fuse to create offspring.

Genetic mutations or germline mutations can be defined as permanent change in the DNA sequence of germ cells (cells, which form ovum and sperm). These mutations can pass from one generation to other, when a mutated sperm or mutated oocyte (gametes) get fertilized with other oocyte or sperm.

A germline mutation, present in a single-celled zygote will present in all cells of a muticellular organism, as single-celled zygote divides and produce all of the cells in that organism.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Order the taxa from largest (first) to smallest (eighth).
ladessa [460]
The answer is 1. domain, 2. kingdom, 3. phylum/division, 4. class, 5. order, 6. family, 7. genus and 8. species. From largest (first) to smallest (eighth) taxa, the order is following: domain, kingdom, phylum/division, class, order, family, genus and species. Taxonomic groups, or taxa, are used for biological classification. For example, for human, the classification will look like this: 1. Domain: Eukarya; 2. Kingdom: Animalia; 3. Phylum: Chordata; 4. Class: Mammalia; 5. Order: Primates; 6. Family: Hominidae; 7. Genus: Homo; 8. Species: Homo sapiens.

What is the formula of Photosynthesis?
Free_Kalibri [48]

The equation for photosynthesis states that the combination of carbon dioxide, water and light energy produces a carbohydrate (glucose) and oxygen. The chemical formula is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Deforestation leads to environmental imbalance. Give reason.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: Well, deforestation is cutting down trees, and many arboreal animals live in those trees. So if they have no proper shelter, they would have no place for personal activities such as breeding, feeding etc. And without those important activities that they have to do everyday, the population of arboreal animals will keep on decreasing until they go extinct. Though that's not the only problem. The herbivores won't get anything to eat, hence not letting the omnivores or carnivores get their food. As you can see, deforestation can create a huge environmental imbalance.
