Answer:

The correct answer is a. Both of the original DNA strands act as templates during replication.

Explanation:

During the DNA replication both the strands of the DNA act as the template strand. DNA polymerase is the enzyme that replicates both the DNA strand.  

One of the strand of DNA gets continuously replicated which is called the leading strand. While the other strand is replicated in a discontinuous manner called lagging strand.

As due to discontinuous replication in the lagging strand short DNA fragments are formed called Okazaki fragments which are joined together by DNA ligase. So both the original DNA strands act as template during replication.

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.
