The response that is most accurate is that; with age, your arteries lose their elasticity and are replaced with collagen, which makes your arteries stiffer. Systolic hypertension or pressure is an elevated systolic blood pressure. If the systolic blood pressure is elevated (above 140) with a normal (<90) diastolic blood pressure, it is called the isolated systolic hypertension.

If a mutation occurs in a body cell and the mutation changes the phenotype of the individual, what will happen to the offspring
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B. The offspring will inherit neither the genotype nor the phenotype change.

Explanation:

Any changes which occur in the DNA sequence of a person are termed as mutations.

Mutations will only be transferred to offsprings if the mutated gene or sequence gets incorporated into the genome of the mutated person.

In the above scenario, the mutation is just changing the person's phenotype and it has not been incorporated in the genotype of the affected person. Hence, the offsprings will not inherit the mutation, nether in their genotype nor the phenotype.
