Because they create multiple alleles, mutations can cause D. variations in traits.

<h2>Gene mutations and evolution</h2>

The production of mutations in DNA molecules is known as mutagenesis. Changes in DNA sequence or chromosome rearrangement are just two examples of mutations that can occur in DNA. These mutations can happen on their own, as a result of mistakes made during DNA replication or mitosis. Natural selection requires genetic variety, which is produced by spontaneous mutations.

The process by which populations of organisms change over generations is known as evolution. These modifications are caused by genetic differences. Different features in an organism can be introduced by genetic differences that modify gene activity or protein function. If a characteristic is beneficial and helps an individual survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be handed down to the following generation (a process known as natural selection).

Which of the following is the goal of the peer review process?
Masja [62]

Answer:  The ultimate goal of the peer review process is that you can have others review and look over your work for things that are incorrect, need fixing, or need rewording.  When we write things on our own, we sometimes make unconscious errors that we sometimes do not even catch in revision.  Having a new set of eyes look at something helps to catch errors that we might miss.  It is very similar to reading your work out load to catch errors, as reading something out loud is another effective strategy when reviewing your work.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

<h3>A) Enzymes are highly specific protein catalysts</h3>

Explanation:

  1. Enzymes are highly specific protein catalysts i.e. it react with only that substrate for which it has been made.
  2. Enzymes have an active site by which it binds to substrate at that specific site.
  3. Enzymes lowers the activation energy required for completion of a chemical reaction. As a result rate of the reaction increases.
  4. Enzymes never participate in a chemical reaction rather they are obtained back in its original form on the completion of the reaction.
