- Mutations are rare.
- Most forms of cancer are caused by somatic mutations.
Explanation;
- Mutations are sudden spontaneous and random changes that occurs in the genetic make up of an organism. They are alterations that occur in the nucleotide sequences in the genetic make up or the genome of organisms.
- Mutations are rare but when they occur they may be advantageous or disadvantageous to an organism. Advantageous mutations have allowed organisms to adapt to their environment, and also resistance to diseases such as malaria in sickle cell.
- However mutations may have disadvantageous and deadly effects, for example most of cancer are caused by somatic mutations or mutations in the body cells.
Answer:
Mutations are rare.
Most forms of cancer are caused by somatic mutations.
Explanation:
Mutations changes the genetic sequence of an organism, and they are rare occurrence. some mutations can be inherited or transferred from parents while some mutations are not transferable.
Somatic mutations are mutations that occurs in the body cell, this could occur due to damage to gene or some genes in some cells of the body part. this mutation are not passed from parents to their child. an example is Cancer in the somatic cells
