Answer:

Mitochondrial gene is the gene which inherited from mother  tothe offspring.

Explanation:

Some portion of DNA is also present in the mitochondria of the cell so mitochondrial gene is also transmitted from parent to their offspring. In humans, mitochondrial gene is transmitted from only one parent i. e. mother not father. The mitochondrial disease occurs in the human if the disease is present in the mother because it is transferred through genes from mother to their offspring. There are variety of diseases that occurs due to mitochondrial gene such as Mitochondrial myopathy, Diabetes mellitus and deafness etc. So the mitochondrial gene plays a vital role in the structure and function of human body.

.. Which of the following mutations would have the potential to affect future generations of
ch4aika [34]

Answer choices:

  • A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
  • A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
  • A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
  • A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell

Answers:

A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell

Explanation:

Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.

Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
