Biology
1 answer:
Lyrx [107]3 years ago
4 0

Mutation only be inherited;

  • through gamete reproduction and fertilization
  • through meiosis and fertilization

Explanation:

Only mutations on gametes can be inherited or transferred to offspring. Mutations on somatic cells can not.

A mutation on gametes can occur during gametes production in the ovaries or testes. If the gamete bearing the mutation is involved in fertilization, then the offspring will bear the mutation and it might probably show in the phenotype if it's not a silent/ missense mutation. This mutation can occur during crossing over in meiosis I where errors may occur in the Holiday junction double-strand breaks repair process.

The barrier between the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments in an animal or plant is the:________
adoni [48]

The barrier between the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments in an animal or plant is the <u>plasma membrane</u><u>.</u>

The plasma membrane or cell membrane is a double membraned cell organelle that surrounds and protects the cell and other cell organelles. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane.

The plasma membrane is about 5 - 8 nm in thickness and is composed of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates that come together to form a flexible bilayer. This lipid bilayer gives the cell membrane its ability to separate intracellular and extracellular fluids.

The plasma membrane also plays a role in signalling and communication between cells and anchors the cytoskeleton to provide cell shape and maintain cell potential.
