Solution
The correct options are
B inherited
C induced
Mutation is a sudden change in one or more genes, or in the number or the structure of the chromosome.
Mutations can be artificially induced by environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Not all mutations are genetically inherited but some mutations are genetically inherited.
For example, the sickle cell disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that instructs the building of a protein called haemoglobin. This causes the red blood cells to become abnormal, rigid and sickle shaped. This disease can be genetically inherited.
