Answer: Point mutation
There are several different types of mutations possible in the base sequence of DNA. If a GGC (glycine) codon were changed to UGC (cysteine), it would be termed a point mutation.
Explanation:
Point mutation is caused when a nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine) is substituted by another base of the same or different class in a nucleotide. So, GGC (glycine) codon to UGC (cysteine) signifies the change of the first base - guanine to uracil.
Other types of mutation include insertion and deletion.
But in this case, point mutation is said to have occurred.
The correct answer is the Galápagos Islands.
True!
Most energy enters ecosystems in the form of sunlight. Plants convert solar energy to chemical energy in the form of sugar. This energy will leave the ecosystem as heat energy.
