Answer:

Option 4. an insertion mutation in an egg cell that deactivates a gene for hair color, resulting in a viable error.

Explanation:

  • Only germline mutations are hereditary in nature i.e., that can be passed on from the parent to the offspring. Examples of hereditary mutation include Sickle cell anemia or hemophilia.
  • Germline mutation: Any noticeable genetic changes in the germ cells of the body that is passed on from the parent to off spring.
  • Mutations such as somatic cell mutation, chromosomal mutation, silent mutations are not hereditary.
  • Option 4 talks about the mutation in egg cells i.e., the reproductive cell which affects the phenotypic traits such as hair color.
  • The change in the phenotypic trait means that it is a genetic mutation of the egg cell as phenotypic changes only occur as a result of genetic mutation. Hence, any detectible mutation in the germ cell can pass on from a parent to offspring.
