Which genetic mutation can be passed to the offspring?

Biology
1 answer:
Kitty [74]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A gamete containing an extra chromosome is formed.

Explanation:

Geminal mutations may result in the production of mutant gametes. If such gametes fuse with those from another individual of the opposite sex to form a zygote, the mutation is transmitted to the progeny. A trisomy gamete containing an extra chromosome would transmit the mutation to the offspring after fertilization.

Sunlight can be considered a food resource.
algol13
<span>I think this is partly true and partly false. It is partly true because plants undergo in a process called photosynthesis and it is sunlight that makes them do this. It is partly not true because literally the sunlight can't be considered a food source because it actually don't give you food.</span>

What do we call the process where part of the DNA is saved during replication?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The process where part of the DNA is saved during replication is known as semi conservative replication.

Explanation:

During cell division, a cell must first replicate its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).  When a cell divides into daughter cells , the DNA of the parent cell must be copied because DNA contains the genetic material of an organism. DNA replication is the process in which DNA is copied  during the cell  division cycle.  During replication, the complementary strands of the original double helix DNA are separated and one of the two strands in the original molecule is saved in the new DNA molecule. Thus the new DNA molecule is made of an original strand and a newly synthesized strand. So the DNA replication is known as semi conservative replication. Each strand of the original DNA molecule is referred as the template strand because it provides information for the production of newly synthesized strand. It takes place inside the nucleus of a cell during the s stage  of the cell cycle. During replication, helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases (Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine) and unwinds the double helix of DNA. The two separated strands create a Y-shaped replication fork and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands of DNA. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases create the new strands.
