Which factor could increase the possibility of mutations in your offspring? (1 point)

Question

• nothing because mutations are not inherited
• having a mutation on a non-gamete cell
• nothing because mutations are random
• smoking tobacco

Answer 1

The factor that could increase the possibility of mutations in your offspring is smoking tobacco. Smoking can introduce harmful substances that may lead to genetic changes, potentially affecting the gametes (sperm and eggs) and increasing the chance of mutations being passed to offspring.
