Mutations can be caused by ultraviolet radiations from the sun or is the DNA copies itself during cell division. However, acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and eggs) cannot be passed to the offspring. When mutations occur in reproductive cells and are called germ line mutations. A single germ line can have a range of defects.

Answer:

The options for this question are:

1. A negligent tort because Matt was careless in throwing the rock.
2. A negligent tort because he only intended to harm Jamal.
3. An accidental tort because he struck Sally by mistake.
4. An intentional tort because Matt intended to throw the rock and physical injury resulted.
5. Matt did not commit a tort against Sally because he only intended to strike Jamal with the rock

The best answer choice is:

An intentional tort because Matt intended to throw the rock and physical injury resulted.

If Matt originally wanted to hit Jamal with a rock in the head but instead hit Sally who is standing directly next to Jamal, then he committed an intentional tort. This kind of tort can be transferred as the tort easer knew certainly that his plan would result in inevitable consequences.

What would happen to the daughter cells if the g2 phase of the parent cell is shortened?

labwork [276]

Answer:

They would be smaller than their normal size.

Explanation:

The G2 phase of a cell's cycle is where the cell starts preparing itself for the mitosis by producing proteins and growing in size. If the G2 phase of the parent cell is shortened, then the cell is not able to grow as much as it needs but this does not affect the mitosis process, the daughter cells would be much smaller due to the parent cell's size.

I hope this answer helps.

<h3>Answer;</h3>

absorbed by Earth’s core

When energy from the sun reaches Earth, it is not absorbed by Earth's core.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

The energy from the sun reaches the earth, such that 23 percent of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere by water vapor, dust and ozone.
48 percent of the solar energy is absorbed by the earth's surface, this translates to 71 percent of the energy which is absorbed by the systems of the Earth.
The remaining 29 percent is reflected back to space by clouds, atmospheric particles etc.
