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.

What are the functions of the larynx and how does it carry out them on a daily basis?
MArishka [77]
The larynx is an nicknamed the "voice box" because it holds the vocal cords inside. It helps change the pitch and volume of our voices as we speak. It is the only part of the body capable of doing this job, so we don't ever want it removed. Our voices would be much more monotone sounding. The larynx connects the pharynx to the trachea in the neck. It is also capable of allowing air through for us to breathe, but does not let anything (food or drink) block the airway. This is obviously a daily function since we eat and drink numerous times daily and usually have no problems breathing while eating and drinking. This is thanks to the larynx.

Hope this helps! :)
