Question

cells from four organisms were exposed to different environmental conditions as shown in the table. genetic damage will most likely be inherited by the offspring of which organism?

Explanation:

Genetic damage is inherited if it occurs in germ - cells (reproductive cells). Egg cells (in organism 2) are germ - cells. Brain cells (organism 1), skin cells (organism 3), and muscle cells (organism 4) are somatic cells. Genetic damage in somatic cells is not passed on to offspring.
