Choose the true statement(s) about mutations. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be m
Kazeer [188]

Answer

All four options ( A,B,C,D ) are true about mutations.

Explanation:

A-  <u>Mutation can provide an evolutionary benefits</u>

As mutation helps in creating DNA  sequence ,new allele(variant of gene) for a specific gene , thus mutations is known to be the first step of evolution.

B-<u> Mutation leads to genetic and phenotypic variation within the species. </u>

In mutation, genetic  variation (difference between individual/population) takes place as new alleles are created ,random matings ,fertilization and during meiosis , recombination of homologous chromosomes. One of the type of mutation called gene mutation give rise to genetic variations.

Its an exceptional case of phenotypic variations ,as mostly there is no effect of mutation on phenotypic variation. Very few mutations lead to phenotype variation and in case mutation takes place in phenotype variation ,making the organism well suited to the environment, the a rapid change  in the characterstics of the individual species is seen.

C- <u>In humans, the somatic cell mutation are not passed in offsprings. </u>

Somatic cells are present in all over the body except in the cells that give rise to gametes( ie. egg and sperm cells) and produces offsprings . Thus somatic cells are absent in gametic cells ,therefore mutation cannot be passed to human's offsprings or children.

D- <u>Evolution rates are faster in bacteria than in humans because most mutations in human cells are silent.  </u>

Due to their fast  growth ,bacteria evolve quickly and share genes with each other and even between the species ,also the mutation that are helpful spread faster in bacteria.  

In humans, the silent mutation in human cells cause many genetic disorders like Laron dwarfism.  About 99.8% genes are silent mutation.

Make a table summarising the main components of tobacco smoke and their effects on the human body.​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: Some of the components in tobacco smoke include:

Nicotine (the addictive drug that produces the effects in the brain that people are looking for)

Hydrogen cyanide.

Formaldehyde.

Lead.

Arsenic.

Ammonia.

Radioactive elements, such as polonium-210

Benzene.

Explanation: Highly damaging components of tobacco smoke include:

tar – is the word for the solid particles suspended in tobacco smoke. The particles contain chemicals, including cancer-causing substances (carcinogens). Tar is sticky and brown, and stains teeth, fingernails and lung tissue

carbon monoxide – is a poisonous gas. It is odourless and colourless and, in large doses, quickly causes death because it takes the place of oxygen in the blood. In people who smoke, the carbon monoxide in their blood makes it harder for oxygen to get to their organs and muscles

oxidizing chemicals – are highly reactive chemicals that can damage the heart muscles and blood vessels of people who smoke. They react with cholesterol, leading to the build-up of fatty material on artery walls. Their actions lead to heart disease, stroke and blood vessel disease

metals – tobacco smoke contains several metals that cause cancer, including arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead and nickel

radioactive compounds – tobacco smoke contains radioactive compounds that are known to be carcinogenic.

The effects of tobacco smoke on the body include:

raised blood pressure and heart rate

constriction (tightening) of blood vessels in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperature

less oxygen carried by the blood during exercise

‘stickier’ blood, which is more prone to clotting

damage to the lining of the arteries, which is thought to be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits on the artery walls)

reduced blood flow to extremities (fingers and toes)

increased risk of stroke and heart attack due to blockages of the blood supply.
