How are genetic mutations passed from parent to offspring? a. sex cells divide to create new cells. b. mutated gametes (sex cells) fuse to create offspring. c. genetic mutations occur during dna replication. d. genetic mutations only occur during meiosis, never mitosis.

Ans. (B). Mutated gametes (sex cells) fuse to create offspring.

Genetic mutations or germline mutations can be defined as permanent change in the DNA sequence of germ cells (cells, which form ovum and sperm). These mutations can pass from one generation to other, when a mutated sperm or mutated oocyte (gametes) get fertilized with other oocyte or sperm.

A germline mutation, present in a single-celled zygote will present in all cells of a muticellular organism, as single-celled zygote divides and produce all of the cells in that organism.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

a researcher conducts an experiment on the secretion of a particular hormone in mice. scientists inject mice with a substance that stimulates the production of the hormone. the scientists then test the levels of hormones produced by the mice. the tool used to measure the hormones consistently detects the levels at 10 points lower than the actual hormone levels in the mice. this tool makes measurements, but the measurements aren't .
