Changes in the dna are called mutations. They can occur spontaneously. Mutations can only be passed down in gametes--sperm and egg cells. with Darwins theory at mind a mutation needs to pass the test of natural selection to remain in the gene pool. So purposly making mutation or altercations may end in diseases/illnesses or in some cases death because they body can not take it.....hope this helps if it doesnt im sorry!

If different masses of water are heated to the same temperature, the sample that will absorb more energy will be the mass of water with the greatest amount of water mass, because the larger the material, the greater the amount of heat needed.

<h3>What is the specific heat of water?</h3>

Water has a specific heat of 1 cal/g. ºC This means that the energy of 1 cal is required for a variation of 1 °C in 1 g of water.

With this information, we can conclude that Water's specific heat power is 4.2 joules per gram per Celsius degree or 1 calory per gram per Celsius degree.
