A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can be either beneficial or harmful. 1) B, false.

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

A mutation is a stable and hereditably change in the genetic material that introduces new variants.

These changes are unpredictable, and occur due to the action of mutagenic agents that alter DNI sequences.

Different mutagenic agents cause changes in genetic information, increasing mutations over the normal level.

Mutagenic agents cause changes in the base sequences and pairing.

Many of these mutations are eliminated, but some might succeed and be incorporated into each individual, getting to even affect the entire species.

These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.

Mutations depend on environmental conditions and ecological pressures, and accumulate in time. Mutations can be damaging or beneficial to the organism and might be inheritable or not.

Those favored by natural selection are inherited by the following generations and get to spread.

The statement is False, Option B.

suggest and explain how the flow of blood in a person with patent ductus arteriosus differs from that of a person with a healthy
iren2701 [21]
Ductus Arteriosus is a blood vessel normally present in fetuses during development. The blood vessel is designed to bypass the pulmonary artery and brings blood to the Descending Aorta, as the fetus cannot breath through the lung (being as they are fluid filled). This is normally not a problem because oxygenated blood comes from the mother's blood supply.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus, is what happens when that vessel does not close. While not as dangerous as other congenital defects. However, because there is still a bypass, blood that normally need to be oxygenated by going through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs, can be diverted and placed into the blood stream without vital oxygen. This condition may eventually lead to CHF (congestive Heart Failure) and Pulmonary Hypertension if not treated.
