Question
which factor could increase the possibility of mutations in your offspring? (1 point) nothing because mutations are random having a mutation on a non-gamete cell nothing because mutations are not inherited smoking tobacco
Mutations can be caused by environmental factors. Smoking tobacco is a known mutagen (a substance that can cause mutations). Mutations in non - gamete cells (somatic mutations) are not passed on to offspring. Mutations are not always random in the sense that exposure to mutagens can increase their likelihood, and some mutations (in gametes) can be inherited.
