Mutations in which of the following cells would get passed on to the next generation?

Biology
1 answer:
creativ13 [48]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. I and III

Explanation:

A mutation needs to occur in a gamete cell in order to be passed down to the next generation.

If it occurs in a somatic (body) cell, the mutation will only be present in that organism.

On the other hand, in a gamete cell, the mutation will pass down because gamete cells are directly involved in the genetic makeup of the offspring.

So, since sperm and egg cells are gametes, mutations in those cells would get passed on.

The correct answer is C. I and III

Answer:

According to the diagram, cell growth and preparation occur in steps 2 and 4, corresponding to phases G₁ and G₂ of cell cycle.

Explanation:

G₁ phase consists of the beginning of the cell cycle, following the process of previous division, and occurs in a cell that prepares for a next division. In this phase growth depends on the proliferation of mRNA to increase protein synthesis.

G₂ phase —third phase of the cycle— is the continuation of the process of cell growth induced by protein synthesis. Changes occur at the level of cellular components, as preparation of the cell prior to division.

How does the brain develop during adolescence?
mario62 [17]

Because the prefrontal cortex is still developing, teenagers might rely on a part of the brain called the amygdala to make decisions and solve problems more than adults do. The amygdala is associated with emotions, impulses, aggression and instinctive behaviour.

An example of a false negative is taking an HIV test and having the test come back negative to say the patient is clean, but in reality they have HIV. Another example of a false negative is a woman taking a pregnancy test saying "not pregnant" (i.e. test is negative), but she actually is pregnant. Between those two examples, it is better to have a false negative pregnancy test because it is non life threatening.

A false positive example would be getting bad news you have cancer, when you actually don't have cancer. Another false positive example is a test saying you have a cold virus, when in actuality you don't. The first example mentioned would have the patient likely go through intense chemo treatments which would greatly affect their livelihood. The second example is a more harmless false positive as it would involve at most a flu shot if anything.
