Question

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.

Answer 2

I dunno .

Answer 3

What passes to progeny ?

Answer 4

I dunno .

Answer 5

Answer 6

A germline mutation is any detectable and heritable variation in the lineage of germ cells. Mutations in these cells are transmitted to offsprings. Can u choose the correct option now ?

Answer 7

Mutations in these cells are transmitted to offspring, while, on the other hand, those in somatic cells are not. A germline mutation gives rise to a constitutional mutation in the offspring, that is, a mutation that is present in virtually every cell. A constitutional mutation can also occur very soon after fertilisation, or continue from a previous constitutional mutation in a parent.[1]

Answer 8

yes choose the correct option now !

Answer 9

So a ?

Answer 10

Answer 11

So then c .

Answer 12

It's B

Answer 13

Oops , I knew that ! I didn't know what progeny was .

Answer 15

Happy-faced spiders (Theridion grallator) appear in four different forms, but they are still considered individuals of the same species. What could be the appropriate justification for this?
