MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Would a mutation in the DNA of a skin cell be passed on to an organism's offspring?

Yes, because any change to the DNA is passed on to the offspring

Maybe. Sex cells only use half of the body's genetic code. It might get the copy of a gene that wasn't mutated.

No. Only mutations that occur in the gametes (sex cells) are passed on to the offspring

Without knowing the animal, it would be hard to tell whether or not the mutation would be passed on.
