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.

Why is the hypothesis that black cats cause bad luck not science?
Alja [10]

Because it has no scientific explanation. As a matter of fact it has no explanation.

The things that black cats cause bad luck are a myth, and do not have any proof or explanation, meaning it cannot be concluded neither as a hypothesis nor scientific.


Hope it helped,

The graphic shows the citric acid cycle. A diagram of the citric acid cycle is shown. Acetyl C o A enters the citric acid cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)
