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
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.
