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.

Phosphatases are a family of enzymes that remove phosphate groups from specific proteins; these phosphate groups had been added
guapka [62]

Answer:

Kinases would stop working too.

Explanation:

Cells work constantly to maintain homeostasis or equilibrium within themselves. One of the mechanisms used for this purpose is feedback. As mentioned in the question, kinases put phosphates on proteins, and then, phosphatases take them off. Therefore, for phosphatases to work, kinases must be working at the same pace. By inhibiting the phosphatases the number of phosphate-proteins will be too high. This can be perceived by the kinases and they will automatically stop working since there's an excess of product. That process is called feedback.
