Answer: The correct answer is-
an agent that causes a mutation in DNA.
Mutagen is an agent or a substance that causes permanent change in the genetic material of living organisms ( DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid). This process is called mutation.
A mutagen can be a chemical, physical or biological agent that causes mutation in the DNA.
Example- Physical agents such as -
- Ionizing radiations like alpha particles, gamma rays, X-rays that brings break in the DNA and cause other damages.
- Ultraviolet radiations that creates pyrimidine dimers ( T=T) and causes replication errors if damage is not repaired.
Climate change and biodiversity are two completely different things. In some areas, climate change will increase biodiversity, allowing more species to live in certain climates, but it will make some species lose their habitats. Biodiversity helps ecosystems thrive, and generally keeps things in balance. However, introducing too many species in an area can cause increase competition for food, risking predators of different species to kill one another off. Both climate change and biodiversity can be good and bad.
Answer: C. It can help some species and hurt others.
Artificial selection - The intervention of humans ensures that only individuals with the most desirable traits produce more offspring
- Farmers only breed the livestock that produce the most food..... Cow, Chicken, plant with the most vegetables
Answer:
Dihybrid
Explanation:
A dihybrid cross explores the interaction of two traits in affecting the genotype of the offsping
The age of oceanic bedrock on either side of a mid-ocean ridge is supporting evidence that at the ridges, tectonic plates are Diverging
.
Explanation:
The underwater mountain range is the mid oceanic ridge, which were formed as a result of plate tectonics. when the convection current goes up in the mantle present beneath the oceanic crust results in the uplifting of the ocean floor.
Which leads to the formation of the tectonic plates through magma, that meet at divergent boundaries. The density and the age and the thickness of these oceanic crust increases due to the distance from the ridges. The mid oceanic ridges has been split on two sides as matching stripes
