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
