Question

Which factor could increase the possibility of mutations in your offspring? (1 point)
• nothing because mutations are not inherited
• having a mutation on a non-gamete cell
• nothing because mutations are random

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.
