Answer 2

Answer is A This man’s offspring will not inherit his mutations in his skin cells because skin cells are not gametes. A mutation is a change in a cell’s DNA. Any cell in a person’s body can develop a mutation, but in order for a mutation to be passed onto a child, it must be present in the genetic material inherited by the child. This genetic material is contained in gametes or sex cells. Answer is A
