Question
Mutated DNA sequences that can be passed from parent to offspring ______
- Occur in somatic cells
- Occur in gametic cells
- Are rejected by meiosis
- Only occur if the parent is exposed to harmful substances
Hint:
Reginald Punnett contributed much to the science of genetics when he designed a method of predicting traits as he was studying poultry genetics.
The correct answer is: Occur in gametic cells
- The transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring is called heredity, and the characteristics that are inherited can be predicted
- Mutations are only passed on to offspring when they occur in germ cell DNA, which are the cells that create sperm or ova.
- The other kind of cells, somatic cells, are the rest of the cells in the body, and mutations that occur in these cells do not get passed on to offspring.
