<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D) Mutations lead to new genes, which may have an advantage over the old forms, causing the species to evolve.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Mutations are sudden, random changes that occur spontaneously in the genetic make up of an organism.</u></em> Mutation are caused by various factors which includes errors in meiosis, and other factors such as chemical mutagens.
  • <em><u>Mutations may be beneficial and may play an important role in evolution as they are raw material of genetic variation</u></em>. <em><u>Mutations may lead to genetic variations in the genetic make up of an organism . Therefore mutations are important to mutation since they create new DNA sequences for a given gene and thus resulting to new alleles.</u></em>

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.  

Explanation:

As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.

agasfer [191]
<span>The propositions are:
A. The gas in the car is the digestive system that provides the necessary energy.
B. The frame of the car is the digestive system that provides structure and support to the body.
C. The exhaust system of the car is the excretory system that removes waste. 
D. The engine of the car is the digestive system that circulates nutrients to the rest of the body.
E. The oil in the car is the excretory system that protects and coats the body.

The right answer is: C and D
*The exhaust system in the car removes waste from the engine like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and several oxidated particles that are unuseful. The same thing for the excretory system in human, it excretes urea, creatinine, and urobillongen (all are wastes from a metabolism).
*The nutrient in the car are represented by the fuel, it is the component that gives energy to the wheels to roll.</span>
