1 answer:

5 0

If the mutation takes place in a gamete that ends up forming an embryo, the mutation will be passed on to an offspring. This can also occur if the mutation occurs early in an embryos development, and the cell becomes one of the gamete forming cells, the mutation will be passed on to their offspring.

Vlada [557]

Phenotypic variations in genetically identical organisms that grow in the same controlled environment may be due to mutation.

<h3>Mutation</h3>

This refers to a sudden change to the DNA sequence of living organisms.

When the DNA base sequence of organisms changes, the effect is shown in the morphology of organisms.

For organisms that are genetically identical but grow in different environments, phenotypic variations might exist as a result of environmentally acquired traits during the struggle to adapt to their environments.

In the same environment, however, genetically identical organisms are not expected to be phenotypically different, unless a mutation to the DNA of one has occurred.
