This type of mutation is called somatic mutation. It usually happens in different cells of the body, but not in the eggs and sperms. These mutation may cause cancer and other illnesses, but it cannot be passed on to future offspring.

How does research into natural selection and traits help you understand why some butterflies have coloration that looks like the
QveST [7]

Answer/Explanation:

Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.

If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.

Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.

Explanation:

Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.

In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:

Biology

<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>

<em />

Neuroscience (humans)

<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>

<em />

Behavioral Ecology

<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>

Neuroscience (Animals)

<em>Are killer whales capable of  problem-solving?</em>

<em />

Ecology

<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>

<em />

Conservation Biology

<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>

<em />

Animal Behavior

<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>

<em />

Parasitology

<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>
