7 0

<h2>The following scenarios state whether the mutation is likely to be passed on to the offspring of the organism or not: </h2><h2> </h2>

a. A single bacteria cell contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is likely to pass as it is a unicellular organism with the cell itself containing the positive mutation.

b. A skin cell on a cat contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is not likely to pass as it is the skin cell.

C. A sperm cell in a whale contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is likely to pass as it is in the sperm.

Answer:

A. No, because budding is a type of asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is the process where an organism makes a copy of itself by itself. It does not require a mate to make offspring.

The offspring are genetically identical to the parent.

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where a small outgrowth of the parent breaks off to become a new organism.

Embryo development is usually only discussed in the context of sexual reproduction, where two gametes fertilize one another and a new organism that is genetically different to either parent is formed.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The sympathetic nervous system is involved in preparing the body for stress related activities; the parasympathetic nervous system is associated with returning the body to routine, day-to-day operations. The two systems have complementary functions, operating in tandem to maintain the body's homeostasis.

Explain how visible inherited traits are diffrent amongst offspring of the same parent.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Although an individual gene may code for a specific physical trait, that gene can exist in different forms, or alleles. ... In other cases, each parent provides a different allele of a given gene, and the offspring is referred to as heterozygous ("hetero" meaning "different") for that allele.
