Classify the mutations as somatic or inherited

Biology
1 answer:
Sergio [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Somatic mutations : option (A) and option (D).

Inherited mutations : option (B) and option (C).

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in the genetic material due to alterations in DNA sequence. Mutations may be somatic or inherited (or germline).

Somatic mutations are those mutations that arise in somatic or normal body cells and cannot transfer from parents to their offspring. As skins cells and lung cells are somatic cells, option (A) and (D) represent somatic mutations.

Inherited mutations are those mutations that arise in sex cells (gamete forming cell) and transfer from parents to their offspring due to transfer as these cells form mutated gametes. As egg cells and sperms cells are sex cells, option (B) and (C) represent inherited mutations.

What would cause an individual to have a mutation in all of their cells?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

That enhances the sensitivity of cancerous tumor cells toward the applied radiation dose.

Explanation:

It is a known fact that tumor cells are very hard to treat so, to increase their sensitivity toward radiation, the body of the patient is treated with special kind of cytotoxic drugs that enhance the sensitivity or exposure of those cancerous cells toward radiation and made them vulnerable. These drugs are applied to modern approaches because of their extensive action toward tumor cells.
