Daisy inherits a mutation from her mother that results in the phenotype of red hair. Evegny acquires a mutation in a cell in his pancreas as a result of exposure to high levels of radiation. What is the difference between these two mutations? Which of these two individuals will pass their mutation to offspring? Because Daisy's and Evegny's mutations are both found in somatic cells, neither Daisy nor Evegny will pass their mutation to their children. Daisy's mutation is in both somatic and germline cells, while Evegny's is only in a small number of somatic cells. Only Daisy will pass on her mutation. Evegny's mutation is in somatic cells, while Daisy's is in somatic and germline cells. Only Evegny will pass the mutation to his children. While these two mutations originate from different sources, both Daisy and Evegny can pass their mutations to their children.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:-

The DNA sequence varies from creature to organism. The order of the base pairs can occasionally shift. We refer to it as a mutation. Changes in proteins that are translated from the DNA by a mutation are possible. In most cases, the cells are able to detect any harm brought on by mutation and fix it before it becomes irreversible.
