Answer:
The student is wrong, spermatozoa are germinal cells and therefore mitochondrial mutations (likewise genomic nuclear mutations) are inherited by offspring
Explanation:
Although the probabilities of inheriting a mutation from a single sperm cell are low, it since an organism produces millions of sperm cells throughout its life span, the mutations in the germinal cells (i.e., sperms and ovules) are inherited by offspring
Answer:
Inertia
Explanation:
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion.
The big bang theory states that the universe began approximately 10-20 billion years ago in an expansion of the universe emanating from an extremely compact point. The occurrence of super massive black holes contradict the big bang theory. Super massive black holes are found at the center of galaxies and is what keeps them together. Models do not explain how these would have formed if the big bang occurred the way it was proposed.
