513 it was the easiest biology question i've ever answered though
"X-men" is one of the current most famous comics, read by millions worldwide. It tells the story of genetically modified persons, called mutants, who have extraordinary powers, some of them using to good, other using for bad. Storm is one of the most famous mutants, she is originated by a mutation who allows her to control the weather at her wish.
1) Since Storm's parents weren't muatants, in which stage of the embryonic development Storm suffered the mutantion?
513 maybe in the first one if you meant that stage in which there's only one cell (it would be zygote) than yeah...in Brazil, heterozygote is the person who has different kinds of allelo genes...
the second one is right coz her gametes would get the mutant genes...if she marry a normal person, it may not show off, or if she marry someone with another power it may show diffrently...

her parents were heterozygotes.
lik ethey were Aa x Aa
and storm was AA
and supposing the mutation gen is not-dominating (don't remember right term) her children will be 'normal' unless their father is also a mutant, or a new muttation will occur
513 hehe its ok...i hate genetics too...all you said was right, but...you just had to say if it was zygote, morula, blastula, gastrula or neurula...but everything you said is correct, she would be AA

Storm was in my exam today!!!!!! 
it was pretty strange, but there was a X-men question in my biology exam today 
coz her gametes would get the mutant genes...if she marry a normal person, it may not show off, or if she marry someone with another power it may show diffrently...
