Answer:
Explanation:
Waxy cuticle is a white powdery substance that is insoluble, it is found usually on the surface of stem or leave and it prevent excessive loss of water through transpiration.
It is an adaptive mechanism used in dry areas or desert to help plants retain water that is needed for their growth by reducing amount of water loss through transpiration.
Cactus is an example of plant with cuticle that thrive well in dry areas
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.
In chromatin, substitution mutations are most common in linker regions. Option d is the correct answer.
Mutation by substitution When one nucleotide base is replaced by another, this occurs. Mismatch mutation A type of substitution mutation in which a single nucleotide is replaced, resulting in the coding of an incorrect amino acid, which usually results in a malfunctioning protein. Silent mutations are the result of genetic code redundancy (degeneracy): This is false, as silent mutations are the result of a base substitution that has no discernible effect on a protein's amino acid sequence.
