A) In a population of bed bugs, variation exists. Some variation provides resistance to the pesticides. Those bed bugs survive to reproduce, passing the resistance on to offspring
Answer:
B. somatic mutations may be passed to daughter cells by mitosis.
Explanation:
<em>In multicellular organisms, </em><em>somatic mutations may be passed to daughter cells by mitosis.</em>
Mitosis has to do with the division of somatic cells as opposed to germ or reproductive cells. Hence, daughter cells from mitosis are exact copies of their parents. If a mutation occur in the somatic cell of a parent, such could be passed to the daughter cell through mitosis.
<em>Somatic mutations cannot be passed via sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction can only be used to passed germline mutations.</em>
<em>Not all mutations produced phenotypic changes. Some mutations are silent and have no phenotypic implications.</em>
<em>Not all mutations are point mutations.</em>
The correct option is B.
