The main portion of the cell is called the soma or cell body. It contains the nucleus, which in turn contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes. Neurons have a large number of extensions called dendrites.
Answer:
Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.
Explanation:
Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.
For example -
Suppose "X" is a mutant allele and "x" is a mutant free allele.
Now when two homologous chromosomes contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromosome are crossed the following offspring are produced
X x
X XX Xx
x Xx xx
"xx" is a mutant free genotype.
Thus, crossing over can create a single mutation-free chromosome
decreased ability to survive changing conditions

Mutations. Definition. A Mutationoccurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene. A Mutagen is an agent of substance that can bring about a permanent alteration to the physical composition of a DNA gene such that the genetic message is changed
The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell. It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. And that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.
