Which type of mutation would have the most long-term effect on a family, a mutation in a gamete or a mutation in a body cell?
A mutation in a gamete, because it would affect the genotype of future family members.
A mutation in a body cell, because it would affect the genotype of future family members.
A mutation in a gamete, because it would affect the genotype of a member of the family for life.
