Is mutations that occur in body cells will always be threatening to the organism?
yes, true.
Will mutations that occur in body cells will always be life threatening to the organism?
Not necessarily. Some produce cancers but many are noncancerous.
Can somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes?
No, they occur in the organism's body cells and cannot be inherited by the offspring .
What mutation affects an organism's offspring?
mutation can affect an organism's offspring
Will cells with mutations always make normal proteins?
No. Cells that have experienced mutation will most likely not have normal cells their cells will be all messed up.

Are gamete cells mutations and somatic cells mutations inheritable?
Since only gamete cells actually participate in the creation of a new organism, it is only the mutations in gamete cells which are inheritable; mutations in somatic cells are not inheritable.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
Can somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes?
No, they occur in the organism's body cells and cannot be inherited by the offspring .
Why would a change in DNA sequence change that organism?
In an organism, a genetic code is made by the cells, but in that genetic sequence, if one or more letters are change, replaced, or deleted, then those cause mutations in the organism In an organism, a genetic code is made by the cells, but in that genetic sequence, if one or more letters are change, replaced, or deleted, then those cause mutations in the organism
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation is a non sex cell?
Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism
What mutation affects an organism's offspring?
mutation can affect an organism's offspring
Will cells with mutations always make normal proteins?
No. Cells that have experienced mutation will most likely not have normal cells their cells will be all messed up.
Are the cells the same and why?
The DNA of cells in the same organism will be the same if no mutations occur. The only diffferences from your hair cells to your muscle cells is the structure of the cell. The structure of a cell gives the cell it's function.
Why are mutations in body cells NOT a source of genetic variation?
They happen after the organism has been born, and often lead to tumours and cancer (caused by carcinogens). Other types of mutations can be caused by mutagens, which mutate the DNA of a cell. It doesn't affect the DNA of every cell in the organism/ reproductive cells, so isn't passed on to offspring
Is the genetic makeup of daughter cells unique or identical to other cells in the organism during mitosis?
the genetic makeup SHOULD be identical. some mutations can occur so they are not completely identical but these mutations are soo minute that they are often disregarded.
