Mutations. Definition. A Mutationoccurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene. A Mutagen is an agent of substance that can bring about a permanent alteration to the physical composition of a DNA gene such that the genetic message is changed
1. Enzyme is the molecule that serves to make reactions work. Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that catalyses chemical reactions in a cell by acting on substrates and convert them to products. Their rate of action increases with increase in substrate concentration, reaching optimum when all active sites of the enzyme are engaged.
2. Plastid are the tiny sacs in the cell that may contain starch. Plastid are major cell organelles found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are site for the manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell. They often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments present can change or determine cells color.
3. Lysosome are packets within the cell that contain digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are one of many organelles found in animal cells. they are tiny like sacs filled with enzymes that enables the cell to process nutrients. They contain digestive enzymes which helps in the digestion of worn out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
4. Mitochondrion is a structure within a cell that is responsible for production of energy. Energy in a cell is produced through a process of cellular respiration which involves use of nutrients with oxygen gas to yield energy inform of ATP, water and carbon dioxide. The process takes place in the mitochondrion where oxygen acts as proton acceptor in the electron transport chain coupled by production of energy.
5. An Organelle is a small structure that serves specialized functions. A cell is made up of various organelles that help it perform its functions. Each organelle is specialized to perform as specific function different from other organelles, for example ribosomes is an organelle involved in the manufacture of proteins.
6. Golgi apparatus are group of flattened sacs that package and export materials out of the cell. Golgi apparatus also called golgi complex or golgi body, is a membrane bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that is made up by a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae. They are responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles.
7. Vesicles are tiny sacs connected to the Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Vesicles are small structures within a cell, or extracellular, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bi-layer. they form naturally during the process of secretion (exocytosis), uptake (endocytosis) and transport of materials within the cytoplasm.
Answer: Resource partitioning
Explanation:
In order to make organisms of different species (competitors) coexist, limited resources are to be divided with a ecological area.
Organisms of same species could be made to live together, so as to reduce wastage of limited resources
Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.
Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.
Explanation:
Question 1: Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.
When lithospheric plates move apart they create divergent plate margin where magma seeps up along the plate boundary and forms series of mountains. The mid oceanic ridge was formed this way.
- The lithosphere lies on the weak and molten asthenosphere.
- Different plate interactions produces a wide range of plate movement.
- Along a divergent margin usually, two oceanic plates are forced to move apart.
- The forces the asthenosphere to rise through seeps as magmatic bodies.
- The rising magma them crystallizes along the margins of the plate to form mountain chains like the mid-oceanic ridge.
- It is common to find young rocks at the plate margin and the older ones away from spreading centers.

Question 2: Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.
Scarcity of space leads to competition between organisms and availability of mates creates genetic variations.
- In an ecosystem with limited space, there will pressure on available resources.
- This will lead to different organism developing strategies to efficiently adapt to their environment.
- Organisms will in turn begin to compete with one another for the limited resources.
When we have a diverse number of mating options, genetic variation occurs. This suggests that we can have different gene combination as a result of the mating organisms.
A variation in the genetic pool of a place leads to better adaptable traits to survive the environment.
