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!

Which of the following will allow for the greatest reduction in an individual’s carbon footprint?
goldfiish [28.3K]

The carbon footprint can be decreased by a great amount if the incandescent bulbs are replaced with the compact fluorescent bulbs. The compact fluorescent bulbs uses approximately seventy five percent less energy than the incandescent bulbs as they do not use heating mechanism to light. This leads  to less emission of the green house gases and thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option a - replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs'.
