Since all cells in our body contain DNA, there are lots of places for mutations to occur; however, some mutations cannot be passed on to offspring and do not matter for evolution. Somatic mutations<span> occur in non-reproductive cells and won't be passed onto offspring. For example, the golden color on half of this Red Delicious apple was caused by a somatic mutation. Its seeds will not carry the mutation.

A single germ line mutation can have a range of effects:
<span><span>No change occurs in phenotype.
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.</span><span>Small change occurs in phenotype.
A single mutation caused this cat's ears to curl backwards slightly.</span><span>Big change occurs in phenotype.
Some really important phenotypic changes, like DDT resistance in insects are sometimes caused by single mutations. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects for the organism. Mutations that cause the death of an organism are called lethals — and it doesn't get more negative than that.</span></span>
Answer:
I think this is the answer (not sure)
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer would be -
Punnett square is given below and on the base of the result of Punnett square, Millie should mate with <u>Denver</u> to get three different colors of puppies.
Explanation:
The question says that Millie has a genotype BB*, which is a combination or heterozygous condition of dark brown allele B and white allele B*, now cross with Denver (light brown color):
Cross 1:
B B*
B BB BB*
B* BB* B*B*
the results is : 25% dark brown, 50% light brown and 25% white.
cross 2: with Charley (white color)
B B*
B* BB* B*B*
B* BB* B*B*
there is only white and light brown puppies produced
Thus, the correct answer is - Denver.
Light?
I think. Hope that helped.
