Question

Which type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring:?A.somatic mutationB.germline mutationC.point mutationD.frameshift mutation

Answer 1

its b. super late xD

Answer 2

The answer is B. germline mutation.

The germline mutation is heritable variation in the lineage of reproductive (germ) cells. Germ cells are cells that give rise to the gametes, so a mutation in germ cell will be seen in a sperm cell or egg cell but not in a skin cell, for example.

The point mutation is the changes in a single nucleotide base on the DNA molecule.

Frameshift mutation, due to addition or deletion of a base, results in the change of reading frame and totally different translation

Somatic mutation is mutation in a somatic cells and is not passed on to the next generation.
