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.

suppose that a recent flood devastated a wildlife preserve in your area. local leaders suggested organizing volunteers to plant
frez [133]
I think this is a good plan. In this way, it would stop flooding in the future. Trees help absorb water with their roots. It can absorb at least 20% of the flood water. 

However, there are also factors that would affect the trees from growing healthily. Some of the trees would not receive the right amount of energy and sediments can possibly be mix with the good soil.

It is best that we examine why the flooding occurred. There could be other possible reasons for flooding. It can be pollution caused by people throwing their garbages anywhere.
