Sally is exposed to a high dose of radiation and she is worried that she: acquired a mutation and
2) could pass the mutation onto her future children. In order for Sally to pass the mutation onto
her future children, she would have to acquire that mutation in the DNA of: Somatic cells Germ
cells Both somatic and germ cells
Solution
Mutations are sudden heritable changes. The genetic mutation is inherited from parents to
offspring. In order to inherit the mutation to offspring, parents should have the mutation in
germline cells that form the gametes. Sally exposed to radiation may have mutation in DNA of
skin cells or body cells exposed to radiation. Such mutation cannot be inherited because skin
cells or superficial body cells exposed to radiation are somatic cells but are not germline cells.
Therefore, option B is correct.
