Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to


Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.

How do sexual reproduction produce new plants?
gavmur [86]

Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?
sergeinik [125]

The mutation in the somatic cells is known as somatic mutations. As they do not take place in the cells, which give rise to gametes, thus, the mutation is not inherited to the next generation by the sexual means.  

On the other hand, the genetic mutations take place in the germline cells, that is, egg and sperm, because of this the mutations possesses the tendency to get passed on from one generation to another.  

Thus, mutations are only passed on to offspring when they take place in germ cell DNA. The other kind of cells, the somatic cells refers to the rest of the cells in the body and mutations, which takes place in these cells do not get inherited further to the offspring.  

Hence, the correct statements are mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring and mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.

svp [43]

Answer:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
