B) through meiosis only

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) through meiosis only.

Any mutation in human being can pass onto the next generation only when it is present in germ cells.

Germs cells are the cells which lead to the formation of gametes (sperm in males and egg in females) through meiosis. It results in the formation of four haploid cells (gametes) from a single parent germ cell.

Mutation in somatic cells (divide by mitosis) will pass onto the daughter cells in the organism but will pass on to the next generation.

Hence, meiosis is the process by which a mutation may pass onto next generation in human beings.

Which type of mutation is seen in a sperm cell but not in a skin cell?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

An alteration in DNA that occurs after conception. Somatic mutations can occur in any of the cells of the body except the germ cells (sperm and egg) and therefore are not passed on to children. These alterations can (but do not always) cause cancer or other diseases.

Explanation:

when a skin stem cell harbors a cancer-driving mutation, it becomes more likely to generate two specialized skin cells when it divides. Over time, the mutated skin stem cell fails to renew itself and turns into cells that eventually slough off, allowing the skin to expel mutated cells as needed.

Errors in DNA copying during cell division and development can cause new mutations — called de novo mutations — at any time from the moment of conception. Mutations that occur in the germ line — the cells that develop into sperm or eggs — can be passed on to the next generation and, perhaps, cause disease in children.

How does ATP provide energy to your body?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

ATP is an energy holder, or almost like a battery.

Explanation:

ATP stores chemical energy. Cells in your body use ATP to fuel cellular processes. This means ATP transfers energy from food to your cells, and you gain energy.
