Basal Surface
Explanation:
The bottom layer of epithelial tissue that attaches to the basement membrane
consumption increased exponentially throughout the world, causes serious environmental problems. Fertilization may affect the accumulation of heavy metals in soil and plant system. Plants absorb the fertilizers through the soil, they can enter the food chain. Thus, fertilization leads to water, soil and air pollution.

Answer:
The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.
Explanation:
A mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene in a cell as caused by mistake during replication or induced by a mutation causing substance. These mutation-causing substances are called MUTAGEN.
A MUTAGEN is any substance that causes genetic mutation in an organism's cell. These changes in the nucleotide sequence can affect one or more phenotypic characteristics of the affected organism, which is also passed to offsprings because it is a genetic change.
Hence, a plant cell exposed to this mutagen will be induced to mutate.
Hence, the cells changing after being exposed to the chemical, which is also passed to the next generation of cells best provides explanation that the chemical is a MUTAGEN.
I believe this question is trying to get you to realize the difference between acquired traits(one you get through doing something during life) and heritable traits(ones from Mom/Dad). For example, I really wish I was 6 foot 4... but the height trait comes genetically from your parents since it is coded in my DNA how tall I will be, therefore this trait must be passed down genetically and somewhere down the evolutionary tree the humans in the region which my family comes from was better off being short. An example that comes from acquired traits could be muscularity... my parents are both not very muscular but throughout my lifetime I enjoy working out and have become much more muscular, no matter how much your parents or grandparents lift weights YOU won't change so that change must be acquired through aging during your lifetime. Now the amount of muscle your body can put on is a heritable thing but that is beside the point. Hope this helps :)
