Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?

Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago

The mutation in the somatic cells is known as somatic mutations. As they do not take place in the cells, which give rise to gametes, thus, the mutation is not inherited to the next generation by the sexual means.  

On the other hand, the genetic mutations take place in the germline cells, that is, egg and sperm, because of this the mutations possesses the tendency to get passed on from one generation to another.  

Thus, mutations are only passed on to offspring when they take place in germ cell DNA. The other kind of cells, the somatic cells refers to the rest of the cells in the body and mutations, which takes place in these cells do not get inherited further to the offspring.  

Hence, the correct statements are mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring and mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The statement number 4 and 5 are correct statement related to mutations in gamete and somatic cells.

4. Mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring.

5.Mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mutation are anomalies present in the genome of cells.

There are two types of cells:

  • Somatic cells: Replicate by mitosis. Normal body cells like skin cells.
  • Gametes: Replicate by meiosis. Gametes are present in gonads like sperm and eggs.

<u><em>So mutation in gametes is most probably to transfer in off spring because they make embryo of off spring.</em></u>

<u><em>While mutations in somatic cells remain only in that cells because they are not responsible for off spring production.</em></u>

The Celsius temperature scale is also something called the centigrade scale. Why is this?
valentinak56 [21]
There are three temperature scales in use today, Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin.

Fahrenheit temperature scale is a scale based on 32 for the freezing point of water and 212 for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 parts. The 18th-century German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit originally took as the zero of his scale the temperature of an equal ice-salt mixture and selected the values of 30 and 90 for the freezing point of water and normal body temperature, respectively; these later were revised to 32 and 96, but the final scale required an adjustment to 98.6 for the latter value.

Until the 1970s the Fahrenheit temperature scale was in general common use in English-speaking countries; the Celsius, or centigrade, scale was employed in most other countries and for scientific purposes worldwide. Since that time, however, most English-speaking countries have officially adopted the Celsius scale. The conversion formula for a temperature that is expressed on the Celsius (C) scale to its Fahrenheit (F) representation is: F = 9/5C + 32.

maria [59]

Answer:

In grassland ecosystem, first trophic level is the producer. Producers are the organisms which makes their own food, here the producer are grasses. The second trohic level contain herbivores which feed on these grasses. These herbivores are eaten by secondary consumers which belongs to third trophic level and secondary consumers are then eaten by tertiary consumer.

The population of producers are very high so it is placed at the base while tertiary consumer are placed on the top due to low population.
