Answer:
Explanation:
1.A deletion mutation occurs when a wrinkle forms on the DNA template strand and subsequently causes a nucleotide to be omitted from the replicated strand.
2.This type of variant results in a shortened protein that may function improperly, be nonfunctional, or get broken down. An insertion changes the DNA sequence by adding one or more nucleotides to the gene.
3. A substitution mutation can cause the following: Change in the coding of amino acids codon to a particular stop codon resulting in an incomplete protein, which is usually non-functional. Can cause Silent mutations where a codon change can encode the same amino acid resulting in no changes in the protein synthesized.
4. when a premature nonsense or stop codon is introduced in the DNA sequence. When the mutated sequence is translated into a protein, the resulting protein is incomplete and shorter than normal. Consequently, most nonsense mutations result in nonfunctional proteins.
A high level of gene flow into a population increases genetic diversity in a population. A high level of gene flow out of a population decreases genetic diversity in a population. Genetic drift is the change in allele frequencies due to "sampling error" factors. Typically, genetic drift has the biggest impact on small populations.
Gene flow (or gene migration) is a mechanism of evolution (change the allele frequencies) which transfers genetic variation among populations due to migration. High level of gene flow decreases the genetic differentiation between the two populations.
Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that acts by chance (“sampling error”) often when a population is reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group leaves the main population and forms a colony (founder effect).

Our hair follicles hold DNA just as do our finger nails, saliva, and blood.
