Question

A mutation in a man’s gametes would MOST LIKELY result in which outcome?
A) shortening his life
B) intellectual disability
C) a mutation in his offspring
D) a change in his somatic cells

Answer 1

The answer is C) a mutation in his offspring 

The germline mutation is heritable variation in the lineage of germ cells. Germ cells are cells that give rise to the gametes, so a mutation in germ cell will be seen in a sperm cell (man's gamete) but not in a body cell. If present in the sperm cell, after fertilization with an egg cell, the mutation will be present in formed zygote. So, man's offspring will have the mutation

Answer 2

A mutation in his offspring
