Some genetic mutations occur in the gametes and can be passed on to a person's offspring. mutations that occur in body cells not involved in reproduction will not be passed on to the person's offspring. however, these mutations can disrupt the control of cell reproduction.

which of the following diseases can result from this type of mutation?

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43
