A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.

What is the difference in DNA between parent call and daughter cells?
A cell that undergoes mitosis, such as a bacteria cell, splits to create an identical cell (daughter cell) that has identical DNA. So, when a cells split to multiply and grow, there DNA is the same, unless a mutation occurs.
What is the difference between a primary and secondary cell battery?
one has more power
What is the difference between humans and archaea?
humans cells contain dna, but the cell of archaea do not
What is cell mutation?
In prokaryotes cell transformation is an alteration of the cell from the uptake, genomic incorporation, and expression of foreign genetic material.In eukaryotes this is called transfection. Transformation in eukaryotes is reserved to describe an alteration of the cell that results in a tumor cell phenotype.
What is the difference between using a solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?
WHEN it works - solar by day, wind when its blowing.
What type of mutation results in a gene change in the body's reproductive cells?
Generally, a germ line mutation or sex cell mutation. Could be anything from a point mutation, one amino acid difference, to a whole frame shift mutation.
How does mutation in a sex cell differ from mutation in a non-sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
How does a mutation in sex cell differ from mutation in a non sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ in a mutation in a non-sex cell?

How does a mutation in a sex cells differ from a mutation in a non sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
How does a mutation in a sex cells differ in a mutation in a non sex cell?

what is the difference between one body cell and another?
They areseparatedby a cell wall or a cell membrane.
What are permanent genetic changes that occur in a body cell called?
rna A mutation.
What is the difference between a human body and a cell?
the same as an ant and a colony
Is a mutation that occurs during the formation of an egg cell or sperm cell more significant than a mutation that occurs in a body cell?
yes because it is genetic therefore can be passed on
What is bacterial mutation?
this is a process similar to transformation.the only difference is that it does not use a becteria as a host cell.
