If you have a mutation in your skin cells from falling asleep in a tanning bed, how will this affect your offspring? Group of answer choices   It won't affect them because mutations cannot be passed down to offspring It will affect their entire body because their entire body grew out of the fertilized egg It will affect your offspring's skin cells only It may affect them, depending on whether those particular skin cells are passed on to them It won't affect them because the mutation is not in a gamete
