Question
what happens when sex cells have mutations during replication? a. problems in somatic cells b. offspring with mutations c. silent mutations d. formation of proteins
Sex - cells are gametes (sperm and egg). Mutations in these cells can be passed on during fertilization, leading to offspring with mutations. Somatic cells are non - sex cells, so mutations in sex cells don't directly cause problems in somatic cells. Silent mutations may or may not occur in sex - cell replication and are not the most direct consequence. The formation of proteins is not the main outcome of sex - cell mutations during replication.
