A sign of genetic mutation is a missing finger or an extra limb of some sort. Also people who study the human genome can trace gene pairs that are not complete or mixed up which can  cause genetic mutations.

Gene mutations can be classified in two major ways:Hereditary mutations are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body. These mutations are also called germline mutations because they are present in the parent’s egg or sperm cells, which are also called germ cells. When an egg and a sperm cell unite, the resulting fertilized egg cell receives DNA from both parents. If this DNA has a mutation, the child that grows from the fertilized egg will have the mutation in each of his or her cells.<span>Acquired (or somatic) mutations occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body. These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if a mistake is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed on to the next generation.</span><span>A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.

The wavelength of the yellow light from a sodium flame is 589 nm. This light originated from a sodium atom in the hot flame.
DiKsa [7]

From wave speed formula, period is 1.96 × 10^-15  seconds per cycle and the frequency is 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

<h3>What is Frequency ?</h3>

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete revolution per second made by a vibrating body.

Given that the wavelength of the yellow light from a sodium flame is 589 nm. This light originated from a sodium atom in the hot flame.

(a) In the sodium atom from which this light originated, the period of the simple harmonic motion which was the source of this electromagnetic wave will be found by using the formula

v = λ/T

Where

  • v = speed of light = 300,000,000 m/s
  • λ = wavelength = 589 × 10^-9 m
  • T = period

Substitute all the parameters

300000000 = 589 × 10^-9/T

T = 589 × 10^-9/300000000

T = 1.96 × 10^-15  seconds per cycle.

(b) The frequency of this light wave is the reciprocal of its period. That is,

F = 1/T

F = 1/1.96 × 10^-15

F = 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

Therefore, the period of the wave is 1.96 × 10^-15  seconds per cycle and its frequency is 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

A constant net torque is applied to an object. Which one of the following will NOT be constant?
love history [14]

Answer:

B) Angular velocity

Explanation:

The equivalent of Newton's second law for the rotational motions can be written as:

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the net torque applied to the object

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

From the formula we see that when a constant net torque \tau is applied, then the object also has a constant angular acceleration, \alpha.

But we also know that

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

where \omega is the angular velocity: so, a constant angular acceleration means that the angular velocity of the object is changing, so the correct answer is

B) Angular velocity

(moment of inertia and center of gravity do not change since they only depend on the mass and the geometry/shape of the object, which do not change)

Starting from zero, an electric current is established in a circuit made of a battery of emf E, a resistor of resistance R and a
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

time constant will decrease and steady state current will decrease on increasing the resistance

Explanation:

As we know that the EMF of cell is E which is used to connected across a resistor and an inductor.

So we will have

E - iR - L\frac{di}{dt} = 0

here we know that

i = \frac{E}{R}(1 - e^{-Rt/L})

now here we have

\tau = \frac{L}{R}

so if we increase the value of resistance of the wire then the time constant will decrease

and hence it will take less time to reach near the steady state value

also the steady state current will be smaller in that case
