Answer:

There is likelihood of inheriting a mutation from your parents would be based on the type of cell in which the mutation was found.

Explanation:

There are two basic types of cell; the germinal cells and the somatic cells. The germinal cells give rise to gamete and these gametes are responsible for the formation of offspring which are produced by the parents. A mutation in any of the gamete that partakes in fertilization will be transferred to the offspring. Mutation that occurs in the gametic cell is called germinal mutation.

The other cell is the somatic cell. The somatic cell are cells in living organism other than the reproductive cell. The somatic cells mutation cannot be transferred to their offspring because most somatic mutations are caused by environmental factors such as radiation and chemicals

A mutant clone might arise if the mutation occurs in a tissue that still has its cell still dividing but if the mutation is in a post-mitotic cell that is, one that is no longer dividing, then the effect on phenotype is likely to be negligible. The result of somatic mutation in a parent can then be transferred to the offspring through the gametic cell

Answer:

A. The heartbeat can be heard

Explanation:

After the first trimester, during the fourth month, the heartbeat of the fetus becomes loud enough to be heard with the help of a stethoscope placed on the abdomen of the mother.

From fifth to the seventh month of the development, kicks and jabs are felt by the mother as the fetal legs grow and develops. Languo, a wrinkled pink colored skin covers the fetus.

Languo is in turn covered with a white greasy substance called vernix caseosa.

From eighth to ninth months, rotation of the fetus places its head pointing towards the cervix to facilitate childbirth later.

The development of testes takes place in the seventh month while the body hairs become disappeared in the eighth month.

What happens when lakes are acidified?
Elena L [17]
The best answer is B - the fish die. Acid rain flows through soils. If the soil part of a watershed, aluminum is released from the soil and into the streams and lakes located in that watershed. This lowers the pH in the lake from between 6 and 8 (which is the normal pH in lakes and streams) to less than 5. Both increase of aluminum and lower pH are directly toxic to fish and they kill off fish populations
