Answer:

Bacterial flagella is the external structure that is thin, long and filamentous. It is attached to the cell wall of the bacteria which helps in the locomotion of the bacteria. It has three parts a filament, hook and basal body. The basal body is incorporated in the cell membrane.

A flagellum is made up of a protein called flagellin. It is a rigid protein and helps in making the hollow core of the filament by assembling together to form a structure which is cylindrical in shape.

The organization of flagella on bacterial cells is helpful in the identification of bacterial species. Mostly 4 type of organization of flagella is present on bacterial cell that are monotrichous, amphitrichous, lophoyrichous and perithrichous.

In monotrichious bacteria, only one flagella is present on one side, in amphitrichous both side of the cell have an equal amount of flagella. Lophotrichous bacteria have a group of flagella at one side of the cell and amphitrichous bacteria have many flagella distributed equally on its cell.

Explain how the likelihood of inheriting a mutation from your parents would be based on the type of cell in which the mutation w
Lana71 [14]

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
