What is affected in a germ cell mutation?

What is a germ cell mutation?

A germline mutation, or germinal mutation, is any detectable variation within germ cells (cells that, when fully developed, become sperm and ovum). Mutations in these cells are the only mutations that can be passed on to offspring, when either a mutated sperm or oocyte come together to form a zygote.

What is affected in a germ cell mutation?

Somatic mutations differ from germ line mutations, which are inherited genetic alterations that occur in the germ cells (i.e., sperm and eggs). Somatic mutations are frequently caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to ultraviolet radiation or to certain chemicals.

The table below shows the dimensions of two colored cubes.
Lelechka [254]

Answer: The correct answer is black because the product of its side and mass is lower.

Explanation: Density of a substance is defined as the mount of matter that can be stored in a given volume.

Mathematically,

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

As, density is inversely proportional to the volume of the substance.

The substance will be more denser if it has less volume and it will be less denser if the volume is more.

We are given two cubes having different sides.

Volume of the cube is calculated by using the formula:

V=a^3

where, a = side of the cube.

Black: The side of this cube is 2 and volume will be = 2^3=8cm^3

Yellow: The side of this cube is 3 and volume will be = 3^3=27cm^3


As, the volume of black cube is less. So, this cube will be more denser.

Density of black cube: \frac{48}{8}=6g/cm^3

Density of Yellow Cube: \frac{135}{27}=5g/cm^3

Hence, black cube will be more denser  because the product of its side and mass is lower.

Identify 2 ways that decomposers are involved in the nitrogen cycle.
Zina [86]

Answer:

Some bacteria are decomposers and break down the complex nitrogen compounds in dead organisms and animal wastes. This returns simple nitrogen compounds to the soil where they can be used by plants to produce more nitrates.  Plants take up nitrogen compounds through their roots. Animals obtain these compounds when they eat the plants. When plants and animals die or when animals excrete wastes, the nitrogen compounds in the organic matter re-enter the soil where they are broken down by microorganisms

You are observing a sample of cells in the lab to determine why they did not divide properly. You notice that the chromosomes ar
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The kinetochore of the chromosomes

Explanation:

<em>What could be damaged that is hindering the spindle fibers from attaching to the chromosomes are the kinetochores of the chromosomes.</em>

At the metaphase stage of the cell division, the chromosomes align at the equator of the cell and the spindle fibers engage each chromosome at a region known as the kinetochore.

The kinetochore is made up of complex proteins and lies around the centromere region of the chromosome. The microtubules of the spindle fibers attach to this region during the metaphase stage.

<u>If the kinetochore is damaged, it means the spindle fiber will not be able to attach to the chromosome. </u>
