There are 2 major types of gene mutations, inherited and acquired: 1  An inherited gene mutation is present in the egg or sperm that formed the child. 2  After the egg is fertilized by the sperm, it created one cell called a zygote that then divided to create a fetus (which became a baby).his is more likely if the mutation affects a gene involved with cell division or a gene that normally causes a defective cell to die. Some people have a high risk of developing cancer because they have inherited mutations in certain genes. To learn more about this, see our document Family Cancer Syndromes.
Life Cycle of Butterflies. White Morpho (Morpho polyphemus) Angelic and graceful, the White Morpho butterfly is distinctive and regal. The wings of this butterfly are rather large and stately, particularly when this beauty flies on the breeze from flower to flower. A stark, bright, clean white, these wings look amazingly pure and even slightly translucent.
Life Cycle of Butterflies and Moths. As advanced insects, butterflies and moths have a complete life cycle. This means that there are four separate stages, each of which looks completely different and serves a different purpose in the life of the insect. This is the life cycle of the Monarch (Danaus plexippus). The egg is a tiny, round, oval, or cylindrical object, usually with fine ribs and other microscopic structures. The female attaches the egg to leaves, stems, or other objects, usually on or near the intended caterpillar food.
