Which genetic mutation can be passed to the offspring?

Biology
1 answer:
Kitty [74]2 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.

How many unique zygotes can a couple make?
san4es73 [151]

Each person carries 23 pairs of  chromosomes in every cell that makes up their body, with the exception of gametes, which contain 23 SINGLE chromosomes. So when a sperm and egg meet, they then have 23 pairs. In the process of meiosis 'crossing-over' occurs, which means that the chromosomes get "shuffled". This means that the child can receive random traits not only from the parents, but also the grandparents. so there is about  2⁴⁶ possible pairings, excluding the risk for things such as Down-Syndrome
