A mutation is an alteration in the original DNA sequence.  Option 3. The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

<h3>What is a mutation?</h3>

A mutation is a stable and hereditably change in the genetic material.

Mutations alter DNI sequences and introduce new variants. Many of these variants are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated in each individual, affecting the entire species.

They can be damaging or beneficial. These last mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.

Different mutagenic agents cause changes in genetic information, increasing mutations over the normal level. They can change the bases sequences and bases pairing.

Mutations depend on each group's environment and its ecological pressures, and they accumulate in time. They are inherited to the followings generation and get to spread.

According to this framework, the correct option is 3. The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

If the analyzed chemical is a mutagen, then it will cause an alteration in the DNA sequence and this change -mutation- will pass to the following generations spreading in the population.

A scientist thinks that a certain chemical is a mutagen. She exposes plant cells to a large amount of this chemical in

the laboratory

Which statement best provides evidence that the substance is a mutagen?

  1. The cells die within hours of being exposed to the chemical.
  2. The cells grow more quickly than those that were not exposed to the chemical.
  3. The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.
  4. The cells continue to divide at the same rate as before they were exposed to the chemical.

OlgaM077 [116]

A spider plant sends out runners that have buds. When planted, the bud grows into a mature plant. The resulting plant has one parent and is <u>genetically identical</u> to the parent.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reproduction is of two types one is sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. The asexual reproduction mostly involves only one parent and therefore the off spring that is born is genetically identical with the parent.

whereas in sexual reproduction that involves 2 parents the off spring born contains a genetic makeup that is a combination of 2 parents and thereby not genetically identical.

Contrast the electron transport chain in photosynthesis with the one in cellular respiration by identifying sources of the high-
nlexa [21]

Respiration:

The respiratory chain detailed here is that of mammalian mitochondria:

NADH → NADH dehydrogenase → ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) → coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase → cytochrome c → cytochrome c oxidase → O2;

succinate → succinate dehydrogenase → ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) → coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase → cytochrome c → cytochrome c oxidase → O2.

It consists of the following elements:

The high transfer potential electrons of NADH are transmitted to coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) by NADH dehydrogenase, or complex I. Reduced coenzyme Q10 is ubiquinol Q10H2.

The electrons with a high succinate transfer potential are transferred to coenzyme Q10 by succinate dehydrogenase, or coenzyme II, also giving ubiquinol Q10H2.

Ubiquinol Q10H2 transfers its electrons to two cytochromes c under the action of coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase, or complex III.

Four cytochromes c each transfer their electron to an oxygen molecule under the action of cytochrome c oxidase, or complex IV. Two molecules of water are formed.

Each of these four respiratory complexes has an extremely complex structure partially included in the internal mitochondrial membrane. Apart from the complex II, they are proton pumps. The electrons circulate between these structures on liposoluble or hydrophilic electron transporters depending on the case.

Photosynthesis:

Photophosphorylation is the equivalent, for photosynthesis, of oxidative phosphorylation for cellular respiration. It constitutes the "light phase" of photosynthesis, that is, it groups together light-dependent reactions.

In plants, photophosphorylation occurs in the membrane of thylakoids, within chloroplasts:

H2O → photosystem II (P680) → plastoquinone → cytochrome b6f complex → plastocyanine → photosystem I (P700) → ferredoxin → ferredoxin-NADP + reductase → NADP +;

cyclic photophosphorylation: (ferredoxin →) plastoquinone → cytochrome b6f complex → plastocyanine → photosystem I (P700) → ferredoxin (→ plastoquinone).

Contrast:

<u>What he has in common is:</u>

*The sequence of several complex membrane proteins transporting electrons.

*The conversion of DNA into ATP.

<u>The differences</u> are in the transport proteins themselves, as well as the direction of H + flux (to the cytoplasm for photosynthesis, and to the mitochondrial matrix in respiration).

How does increasing oceanic co2 intake affect atmospheric co2 and oceanic co2?
Kamila [148]

Answer: CO2 impacts the atmosphere because it causes temperatures to slowly rise over time. Oxygen produced from plants counter act CO2 with the carbon dioxide exchange but it still impacts the atmosphere to a certain level. it affects oceanic areas because it causes sea levels to rise, as well as increase the acidic levels in the water. hope this helps!
