Question

If mutated DNA sequence #1 occurred in a single reproductive cell of a fish that was later fertilized to become an offspring, how might it impact the organism

Answer 1

Offspring will have some sort of genetic variation from parent (may be positive or negative or no effect, based on the mutation type)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reproductive cells pass on the traits from the parents to the offspring.

An organism that is mutated at a single DNA location in a reproductive cell, then that mutation will be passed on to the offspring.

Based on fact, that mutation will lead to some kind of effect in any trait, hence the same trait will be effected because of mutation in the offspring as well

It can also be said that offspring will have some sort of variation from parent (may be positive or negative or no effect, based on the mutation type)
