1.A toxic gas can remove Thymine (T) from DNA. For developing embryos, exposure to this toxic gas can cause serious deformities because Thymine (T) supports the structure of ribosomes in cells stores the building blocks of proteins in cells produces energy for genetic transfer in cells is part of the genetic code in cells 2.Mutations in body cells affect none of the above only the organism in which they occur the offspring of the organism parent and offspring

For the 1st one, Thymine is a part of genetic code.
2nd question is not pretty much clear because if mutation occurs in somatic cells then it damages the person whose somatic cells are mutated. If mutation occurs in germ cells, it can effect offspring.
