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

Biology

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>

What are the differences in the dynamics of microtubules and actin filaments?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Microtubules, like actin filaments, are dynamic structures: they can grow and shrink quickly by the addition or removal of tubulin proteins. Also similar to actin filaments, microtubules have directionality, meaning that they have two ends that are structurally different from one another. I hope this helps :)

How can flowers help other organisms? What type of relationship is it?
mr Goodwill [35]

Well, flowers give insects like bees and butterflies nectar. That's their food. In return, the insects spread the flower's pollen so that other plants like its type can be fertilized.

This is mutualism - a symbiotic relationship were two organisms benefit.

Happy to help!

The primary organic source of energy for living things are
GarryVolchara [31]
The sun is the primary source of energy for living things mostly organisms like plants and ecosystems. But if you're talking about the bonds inside organic molecules, which are carbohydrates. With this, the energy from the sun gets trapped within a chemical bond and still relates to photosynthesis in plants.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!
Lina20 [59]
Co2 diffuses into red blood cells down their concentration gradient. Here, the co2 reacts with water in the cytoplasm of the red blood cell with the help of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to make carbonic acid (H2CO3). The carbonic acid then dissociates into H+ and hydrogen carbonate ions. The H+ ions binds with R-groups in haemoglobin in the red blood cell to make the compound carbaminohaemoglobin. The hydrogen carbonate ions leave the red blood cell and diffuse into the blood plasma whilst chloride ions move into the red blood cell (chloride shift) to maintain electrochemical balance.

Ik it's a lot but I hope it helped. I have a biology exam tomorrow and I also need to remember this haha
