Describe the ways mutations can affect DNA and chromosomes.​
lozanna [386]
Mutations present permanent and heritable changes in the genome. We distinguish gene and chromosome mutations. Mutations in the level of genes are called point mutations because only one to several nucleotides are changed. These processes are known as deletion, insertion, and substitution. Deletion presents a loss of nucleotides which changes DNA sequence. When new nucleotides are embedded in the DNA chain, it is known as insertion. Substitution implies the process where new nucleotides are inserted while the ones that were present in that specific spot in a DNA molecule are deleted.
Mutations can also appear in chromosomes altering their number and structure. There are four types of mutations - deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation. In deletion, a whole or one part of a chromosome is lost. Duplication presents an extra copy of a whole or one part of a chromosome. In an inversion, parts of a chromosome change order, while in translocation a part of one chromosome detaches and then connects to another.

It secretes a fluid which contains enzymes like phosphatases, lytic enzymes and antibiotics which helps in the protection and passage of sperm to the egg cell.

How do scientists recognize that a climax community has been reached?
mixer [17]

Answer: D. The succession of community is completed.

Explanation:

A succession can be define as a series of gradual changes that occur in the biotic community of the ecosystem with respect to the changes that occur in the abiotic or non-living factors with respect to time until the ecosystem attains stability.

A climax community is the community that develops in the end of the ecological succession. It is the stable community which does not require any further change to occur. With the development of the climax community the succession completes.
