A) Some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring.
B) Genetic mutations that cause diseases are always passed on to offspring.
C) Different genetic mutations cause few forms of cancer.
D) Somatic mutations can be inherited from parents or acquired during life.
Answer:- A) Some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring.
The somatic mutation defines the alteration at the cellular level in somatic tissues happening after fertilization. These mutations do not include the germline and therefore do not pass on to offspring. Somatic mutations are the normal part of aging and occur through an organism’s life cycle either impulsively as a consequence of errors in DNA repair mechanisms or a direct response to stress.
Somatic mutations are the change to a person’s DNA that happens after conception to any cell that is not a germ cell (egg or sperm cell). Somatic mutations do not pass from parents to their children (not inborn) and occur sporadically or haphazardly, without the mutation existing in a person’s family history.
