Answer:

Genetic mutations are passed from parent to offspring by mutated gametes (sex cells) which are fuse to create offspring.

Explanation:

Genetic mutations or germline mutations can be defined as permanent change in the DNA sequence of germ cells (cells, which form ovum and sperm). These mutations can pass from one generation to other, when a mutated sperm or mutated oocyte (gametes) get fertilized with other oocyte or sperm.

When a single celled zygote containing genetic mutations divides then this mutation spreads to the whole cells of an organism.

DNA that is only passed on from mothers to their children is stored in mitochondria,Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are important causes of various types of diseases.

THUS THE GENETIC MUTATIONS ARE PASSED FROM PARENTS TO OFFSPRING BY MUTATED GAMETES ,FUSING TO CREATE OFFSPRING.

Why are fats considered as high energy compounds?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

1. Fats contain mostly C-H bonds, it has less oxygen therefore making it a high energy compound

2. mRNA plays a vital role in protein synthesis. It's a single stranded RNA molecule that contains genetic information that can be taken outside the nucleus (unlike DNA which cannot leave the nucleus). Its created during transcrption, and is used during translation to create proteins
