Stomach

In the stomach, enzymes break down food such as carbohydrates, protein and fats, so that nutrients can be absorbed farther down the GI tract, according to the National Digestive Disease Information Clearinghouse. The stomach mixes and churns foods to slowly release into the small intestine. Liquids empty the quickest, in one to two hours, and solid food takes about two to three hours to transit out of the stomach.

The best answer is: introducing exotic species into <span> new environments. This can be actually bad, as new species can actually reduce the biodiversity in the environments to which they're introduced</span> , such when cats hunt indigenous birds.

I was a bit thinking about the last option too: making sure local people benefit from conservation efforts. This is not one of the classical goals of the conservation efforts, but since the previous one is definitely correct, i don't this one is. (it's not that it's not a goal, but it isn't a main focus)

Discuss 3 different types of mutations that can happen
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Un cambio en la secuencia de bases en el ADN o ARN se conoce como mutación . ¿La palabra mutación te hace pensar en ciencia ficción y monstruos con ojos de insecto? Piensa de nuevo. Todos tienen mutaciones. De hecho, la mayoría de las personas tienen decenas o hasta cientos de mutaciones en su ADN. Las mutaciones son esenciales para que ocurra la evolución. Son la fuente principal de todo el material genético nuevo -nuevos alelos - en una especie. Aunque la mayoría de las mutaciones no tienen efectos en los organismos en que ocurren, algunas mutaciones son beneficiosas. Incluso las mutaciones dañinas rara vez causan cambios drásticos en los organismos.
