A biologist isolates mRNA from a mouse brain and
liver and finds that the two types of mRNA differ.
Can these results be correct, or has the biologist
made an error? Explain your answer.

A biologist isolates mRNA from a mouse brain and
liver and finds that the two types of mRNA differ.
Can these results be correct, or has the biologist
made an error? Explain your answer.
Answer:
The biologist did not make an error. The gene expression, and thus pre-mRNA processing is different, which results in different mRNA for different organs. This is done so that the specific proteins for that organ could be made.

Mutations may occur in gametes or in body cells.
Part A In which cell type could a mutation cause
genetic variation in a population?
Part B Explain how genetic variation could result
from a mutation in this cell type.

Answer:
Part A Mutations that occur in the gametes can be a source of genetic variation in a population. Mutations in body cells are restricted to the individual and, unlike gametic mutations, cannot be passed on to future generations (with the exception of asexually reproducing species.)
Part B Mutations arising in the gametes can be passed on to offspring during sexual reproduction and the formation of the zygote. The resulting offspring would be different (genetically) from the parent, and may show the resulting characteristics of the particular mutation.
