which of the following genetic changes would be passed from parent to child?
the addition of a chromosome in an egg cell
a duplication of chromosome 21 during mitosis in a pancreas cell
a translocation in a nonhomologous pair of chromosomes in a liver cell
a mutation in a skin cell caused by uv light

Explanation:

Genetic changes in gametes (egg or sperm cells) can be passed from parent to child. Somatic cell (like pancreas, liver, skin cells) mutations are not inherited. The egg cell is a gamete. A change in it (addition of a chromosome) can be passed. Mitosis in pancreas (somatic), translocation in liver (somatic), mutation in skin (somatic) - these are in non - gamete cells and not passed.

Answer:

the addition of a chromosome in an egg cell
