The effects of a mutation are different depending on the type of cell that is affected.

* If a mutation occurs in a somatic cell (all cells except the reproductive cells), this can trigger the development of a cancer (colorectal cancer, retinoblastoma...).

* If a germ cell (reproductive, giving gametes) is affected, the person will not be affected but his descendants will be affected. (this gives genetic, hereditary disease, like sickle cell anemia, haemophilia...).

If someone told you that plate tectonics is just a theory and that it hasn’t been accepted as a law yet, how would this informat
ch4aika [34]

Answer: There are few ‘laws’ in science. Those ‘laws’ are so named for historical reasons, but they are theoretical in nature. They set out what happens when a theory is applied in practice. A theory is simply the best explanation we have for understanding why some process takes place and predicting what the result will be.

Explanation: Anyone who describes something as “just a theory” does not understand what a theory is. Laws are arbitrary human rules. Theories are severely tested and re-tested explanations of why things happen in the real physical world and can be used to make predictions about outcomes.

Some would say that theories are about why something happens and laws (in science) describe what happens. But this simply makes a scientific ‘law’ a subset of a scientific theory, explaining how to make predictions.
