Mutations:
A)when occurring on a particular Okazaki fragment can lead to different loci
B)often change a person's blood from type A to type AB
C)are responsible for heritable variations seen in progeny
D)occur only when the DNA is transmitted to a daughter cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutations can introduce changes in the DNA sequence that are heritable and can be passed on to progeny. These changes can lead to variations in traits and genetic diversity in a population. Mutations may occur during DNA replication or as a result of exposure to mutagenic agents like chemicals or radiation.

Answer: A, D
 Mutations can occur during DNA replication and may affect individual Okazaki fragments. However, these mutations are typically limited to the daughter cells that inherit the altered DNA. Mutations at specific loci can lead to genetic variation, which may be beneficial or harmful to an individual's survival or reproductive success.
