A scientist carries out an experiment on a hamster. He exposes the hamster to x-rays at regular intervals. This results in a germ line mutation in the hamster. What is the possible outcome on the progeny of the hamster?

The defect is not carried forward to the progeny of the hamster.

The defect is carried forward to the progeny of the hamster.

The defect is lost in the progeny of the hamster.

my second choice is A and cause it cant carry the deffect to the hamnster

koikkara · Answer

So which one is the first choice ? Just wonders !!

anonymous · Answer

huh

koikkara · Answer

Alright, time up .... Since, The mutation might only affect one of two homologous chromosomes, so that would leave a 50% chance that the mutated chromosome would be passed on to progeny, The defect may be carried forward to the progeny of the hamster
