Gamete (sex) cells Mutations that occur in somatic (body) cells usually result in killing that body cell only. Mutations that occur in gamete (sex) cells means that every cell of the developing fetus/baby will have that mutation.-Gamete mutations usually do affect the individual with some genetic disorder.Gamete mutations can be passed on to the next generation. There are two types of mutations that can occur in gamete cells- 1. Gene Mutations 2.
The Life Cycle of the Polar Bear. The life cycle of the polar bear is complicated. One-third of the female population of polar bears are unavailable every breeding season because female polar bears care for their young until they are two-and-a-half years old Remarkably breeding occurs months before gestation begins.Polar bears are a marvel of adaptation to their Arctic environment.ne-third of the female population of polar bears are unavailable every breeding season because female polar bears care for their young until they are two-and-a-half years old Remarkably breeding occurs months before gestation begins.
Polar bears have been known to live for 20 years or more, although few live longer than their late teens. The oldest wild polar bear was 32 years old, and the oldest polar bear in a zoo was 41 years old. Researchers can find out how old a polar bear is by removing a tooth. Each year, a bear's teeth grow a little larger. The end of the tooth is cut off and there is a ring for each year, just like on trees. The researchers simply count the rings to find out how old polar bears are. 5 rings means a polar bear is five years old.
