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

Biology
1 answer:
creativ13 [48]2 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

What is an allele?
Natali [406]

Answer: Just did the lesson on this, the answer is  C.

Explanation:An allele is one of the possible forms of a gene. Most genes have two alleles, a dominant allele and a recessive allele. If an organism is heterozygous for that trait, or possesses one of each allele, then the dominant trait is expressed. ... So a gene is a particular region of your DNA that controls a specific trait.

In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as ____________ molecules of atp are produced from one molecule of glucose.
shusha [124]
<span>In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. This is less than might be expected, because electrons from NADH produced during glycolysis must be shuttled through the inner mitochondrial membrane at a cost.
</span>The energy of the electrons can be used to make ATP and in eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the <span>cytosol, outside mitochondria. </span>

People with diseases that result in the malabsorption of which nutrient are at risk for a vitamin d deficiency?
grigory [225]

Inadequate dietary vitamin D or its deficiency leads to malabsorption of calcium. Nutritional disorder leads to the rare disease rickets, which causes bones to become soft and bend in children. In adults, vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia, which causes weak bones, bone pain and muscle weakness.

The body needs vitamin D to properly absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet. However, keeping the right quantities of calcium and phosphorus in bones is challenging when vitamin D levels are low.

The two sources of vitamin D are-

  • Natural sunlight
  • Foods such as fish oil, Egg yolk and fatty fishes like salmon and mackerel

There are other disease conditions which lead to poor absorption of vitamin D-

  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Celiac diseases
  • Kidney problems
