The mutation will cause a translocation to occur.
The mutation will cause a change in the individual but it will not be inherited.
The mutation will be inherited by the offspring.
The mutation will not cause any change in the individual and it will not be inherited.
If a point mutation occurs during which CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.
This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.
We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism
The first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross is called the Parental generation or P generation. This is one of the terms used by Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics. P generation refers to the passing of genes or traits of the first set of parents crossed to the offspring. Their offspring are called the first filial generation or F1 Generation.
