How do somatic and inherited mutations differ?

Biology
1 answer:
telo118 [61]3 years ago
7 0

The right option is; C. Inherited mutations exist in all cells in the body and somatic mutations only exist in the cell type that mutated.

Inherited mutations are gene mutations that exist in almost every cell in the body throughout an individual’s life. Inherited mutations are inherited from a parent and can also be transmitted. They are also called germline mutations because they exist in the parent’s egg or sperm cells (gametes).

Somatic mutations are gene mutations that exist in only certain cell types that are mutated, not in every cell in the body and it take place at some time during an individual’s life. Somatic mutations are not inherited and cannot be passed. They are caused due to environmental factors (such as cigarette smoke or ultraviolet (UV) radiation) or due to error during DNA replication.

When a monkey grasps, holds, or tears something, mirror neurons fire. and they likewise fire when the monkey observes another do
Ierofanga [76]

Mirror neurons fire demonstrates the ability of primates to empathize with another organism.

Mirror neurons are a class of neurons that modulate their activity both when an individual executes a specific motor act and when they observe the same or similar act performed by another individual.

Recent studies have shown that the mirror neurons have been hailed as a cornerstone of human empathy, language, and other vital processes.

These neurons are initially found as motor command neurons present in the frontal lobes of the brain and the prefrontal areas of the brain.

These are neurons which fire when a person moves and these are regular motor command neurons, orchestrating a sequence of muscles that allow the person to move something or do some other action.

A subset of these neurons also fire when that person simply watches another person move and do exactly the same action. So these neurons are performing a virtual reality simulation in the brain.

Another example of this is phantom limb.

What<br> is added to make RNA?
Anarel [89]
Three of the four nitrogenous bases that make up RNA — adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) — are also found in DNA. In RNA, however, a base called uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) as the complementary nucleotide to adenine (Figure 3). ... (Remember, DNA is almost always in a double-stranded helical form.)

Selective permeability means that specific molecules or ions can move through the cell membrane by passive transport or active t
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

With microscope.

Explanation:

Every cell has a selective permeable membrane in which smaller molecules can pass whereas bigger molecules stays outside the cell which can be seen in the cell with the use of microscope because it only occurs inside the cell. The movement of ions or molecules in the cell through a semi permeable membrane is called Osmosis. The movement of ions or molecules sometime needs energy we called it active transport and sometimes it moves without the use of energy is known as passive transport.
