The mutations were not genetic but he may pass on the gene to be more sensitive to sun exposure.

Ans.

Skin cells are normal body cells or somatic cells. Mutations in these cells are known as somatic mutations that do not transfer from one generation to another as these cells do not take place in the process of gamete formation.

Mutations that pass from one to another generation are germline mutations that occur in gamete-forming cells.

Hence, if a man experiences mutation in his skin cells due to sun exposure will not pass mutated traits along to his offspring.

Identify the genetic event that resulted in the original antibiotic resistance in some strains of bacteria
julsineya [31]

Hi

Mutations are responsible for increasing the antibiotic resistance of some bacterial strains.

As we know that antibiotics are the drugs that target specific strain or type of bacteria, and kill them. These are designed against specific disease causing gene of that bacteria strain. However, as the genome of bacteria is very small in size, and bacteria undergo hundreds of multiplication events in very small span of time. Therefore, upon replicating, there occur chances of mutations in genetic sequence of bacteria.

When the genetic sequence of bacteria is changed even by one base, the drug wont be able to target and kill that strain of bacteria. And researchers need to design new antibiotic against new strains of bacteria.

Antibiotics resistance has become huge issue across the world as it takes alot of time (years) to design and approve an antibiotic.

Hope it help!

Which shows the correct order of steps in the formation of coal? Layers of dead plants pile up → plant matter is buried by rocks
Doss [256]
The appropriate answer is d. Dead plants in a swampy environment is the perfect environment for the beginning of the coal forming process. Over time layers pile up in this anaerobic environment. The plant or organic material gets buried overtime by dirt or rocks. Millions of years of burial will expose the matter to heat and pressure and will eventually lead to the formation of coal and other petroleum products.
