The student is wrong, spermatozoa are germinal cells and therefore mitochondrial mutations (likewise genomic nuclear mutations) are inherited by offspring
Explanation:
Although the probabilities of inheriting a mutation from a single sperm cell are low, it since an organism produces millions of sperm cells throughout its life span, the mutations in the germinal cells (i.e., sperms and ovules) are inherited by offspring
<span>Stabilizing selection operates when individuals within a population of average body size have more offspring than those of large or small body size. this is the worlds way of stabilizing the population to a safe average.</span>
