(07.05 MC) If there is a mutation in a zygote, where is it likely to be found in the fetus? (2 points)
The mutation will show up in any fetal cells formed by mitosis but not in those formed by meiosis.

The mutation will only be in the one cell that was the original zygote and the other cells of the fetus will not have it.

The mutation will occur in all the cells of the fetus since they all formed by mitosis from the zygote.

The mutation will only be found in the types of cells in the fetus that are formed by meiosis.

Answer:

The mutation will occur in all the cells of the fetus since they all formed by mitosis from the zygote.

Explanation:

If there is a mutation in a zygote, the mutation will occur in all the cells of the fetus since they all formed by mitosis from the zygote.

A zygote consist of a diploid cell formed from the fusion of male and female haploid cells during fertilization.

A zygote develops into a fetus through continuous mitotic division and differentiation.

Hence, if a mutation occur in a zygote, all the cells of the fetus formed from such zygote will have the mutation because the cells are formed from the mitotic division of the zygote.
