Answer:
Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.
Explanation:
As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.
In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.
Answer: Option C.
High-energy waves like UV light or radiation physically damage the DNA
Explanation:
Mutation is the change or alteration that occur in the DNA sequence or nucleotides sequence of an organism which is caused by mistakes when the organism is copied or environmental factors such as UV light.
Ultraviolet light cause mutations by activating the SOS repair systemof which is a part of i a new DNA polymerase that has no power to edit e but has the ability to move past the thymine dimer and synthesize DNA, This lead to cells able to replicate but with a high frequency of mutations.
It is the last choice because their similar bone structures suggest they once had a common ancestor, which is why they are all mammals.
