Question

10. If tail of mice are removed by surgery in each generation, the tailless mice will not have
tailless progeny.why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The progeny of mice will not be tailless due to the fact that only those traits are passed on to the next generations that bring about change in the genetic code of the species or genetic cells.

Since, getting rid of the tail with the help of surgery does not bring any change in the genetics therefore, there will be no change in the tails of next generations of the same mice.

Answer 2

Answer:

Since the tail removed by surgery involves changes in the non-reproducing cells, it will not be passed on to its progeny. The progeny of mice will not be tailless because the removal of the tail cannot change the genes of the germ cells of the mice.
