harmful only
neutral only
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.

What type of mutation is shown in the diagram?
Point mutation - missense
Frameshift Mutation - deletion
Frameshift Mutation - addition
Point mutation - nonsense

What mutation occurred?
By looking at the chromosomes how can you tell that this person is biologically female?
Because there are two X chromosomes
Because there are more chromosomes than in a male
By looking at the chromosomes is this individual biologically male or female? How do you know?
Female, because they have two X chromosomes
Male, because they have one X and one Y chromosome
What is the mutation in this persons chromosomes?
There is only one X
7 is shaped like a hockey stick
There's an extra 21
1 is too curved
This is called Turners syndrome, can you notice the mutation in the chromosomes?
Both chromosomes 1 are bent
There are too many chromosomes
There are too many of chromosome 3
There is no Y chromosome

What do proteins do?
Form cells
Control cell processes
Make DNA
Determine traits
What is an example of a neutral mutation?
None of these
