Two daughter cells are most likely to inherit which one of the following from the parent cell?
A) a change in a nucleotide in mRNA
B) a change in a nucleotide in tRNA
C) a change in a nucleotide in rRNA
D) a change in a nucleotide in DNA
E) a change in a protein

Asked by aubslovespink

Answer (2)

Daughter cells primarily inherit changes made to the DNA of the parent cell during cell division. This is because DNA contains the genetic instructions for producing RNA and proteins. Other changes in mRNA, tRNA, or proteins do not get passed on to daughter cells. ;
