How do mutations contribute to genetic variation​

Biology

Answer: Genetic Change

Explanation:

Mutations contribute to genetic variation by causing new traits to emerge. Mutations happen when there is a change in the DNA of a creature developing in utero. These random changes in creatures are common, although most mutations end up being lethal or inhibiting to the organism. In rare cases, this mutation can prove benificial or helpful, and if the organism reproduces and the trait is passed along, it could become a new branch of genetic variation within the species.

What evolutionary advantage does compartmentalization of core metabolic processes offer eukaryotes?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Compartmentalization increases the efficiency of the process of cellular respiration, leading to higher energy production (ATP).  

Explanation:

In biology, compartmentalization refers to the formation of separate areas within the cell in order to carry out specific cellular functions more efficiently. In a cell, these compartments are usually delimited by lipid layer membranes. In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria (and also chloroplasts in plants) are the most important compartments in terms of metabolic processes. These organelles function to generate energy in the form of ATP by the process of cellular respiration. From an evolutionary perspective, compartmentalization increases the surface area that mitochondria use to generate energy ATP and provides a unique internal medium to carry out these metabolic reactions since oxidative phosphorylation, which the most important process in terms of energy generation, occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.

The process that occurs when memories that are temporarily stored in the hippocampus migrate for storage elsewhere in the brain
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Memory consolidation.

Explanation:

This is the ability of the  brain to  convert  and integrate newly  acquired  information,(synaptic consolidation) into permanent  long term  memory (system consolidation). Evidences from sleep research showed that human brain acquire memories  during the day as we interact with our immediate environment,(synaptic consolidation) and  when we sleep at night ,these memories are processed, stabilized and  integrated into existing memory to form long term memory.(system consolidation).

The conversion and integration  of  the short term memory usually begins at average of 5-10 minutes, while stabilization into long term memory which is  independent of the hippocampus  takes average of  over 1 hour after acquiring  .
