Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?

Biology

finlep [7]3 years ago

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The statement number 4 and 5 are correct statement related to mutations in gamete and somatic cells.

<em>4. Mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring.</em>

<em>5.Mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.</em>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mutation are anomalies present in the genome of cells.

There are two types of cells:

  • Somatic cells: Replicate by mitosis. Normal body cells like skin cells.
  • Gametes: Replicate by meiosis. Gametes are present in gonads like sperm and eggs.

<u><em>So mutation in gametes is most probably to transfer in off spring because they make embryo of off spring.</em></u>

<u><em>While mutations in somatic cells remain only in that cells because they are not responsible for off spring production.</em></u>

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.

Which is a disaccharide?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Disaccharidases are glycoside hydrolases, enzymes that break down certain types of sugars called disaccharides into simpler sugars called monosaccharides. In the human body.

Explanation:

Disaccharide, also called double sugar, any substance that is composed of two molecules of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked to each other. ... The three major disaccharides are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

Three common disaccharides:

#sucrose — common table sugar = glucose + fructose.

#lactose — major sugar in milk = glucose + galactose.

#maltose — product of starch digestion = glucose + glucose.

Each of the following processes is associated with one or more specific eukaryotic organelles. In each case, identify the organe
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Part A It is associated with peroxisomes and mitochondria.

Part B. It is associated with smooth endoplasmatic reticulum.

Explanation:

The oxidation of long chain fatty acids are produced at the beginning in the mitochondria, it is called B oxidation because there is a carbon in this position that in this process is going to be oxidized to a carbonyl group. The very long fatty acid chains are also oxidized in the peroxisomes.

The cholesterol biosynthesis is made inside the hepatic cells, in the endoplasmatic reticulum. Is a process that starts with acetyl Coenzime A that was oxidized in the mitochondria. This process is regulated by the intake of cholesterol from the diet.

Hope this info is useful.

The key difference between sexual and natural selection is that natural selection acts on traits which increase fitness, whereas
Rom4ik [11]
Sexual selection example; The brightness of the feathers of a peacock. You may also see similar traits in other birds, where some dance and show off bright feathers to attract a mate, where other build nests. These specific traits do not increase their chance of survival, and are not learned. They increase their fitness because they increase their chances of reproduction and passing on their genes. 

Survival of the fittest = Survival of those who survive, and reproduce
