Plants use energy from sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide from what they get into an energy-rich sugar called glucose. This process is called photosynthesis, which means “making things with light”. In photosynthesis, the energy in light is absorbed by photopigments.
DRIs is the general term for a set of reference values or guidelines that are used to plan and asses nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values which vary by age and gender include:
- Recommended Dietary allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake sufficient to meet nutrient requirements of about 97 - 98% of healthy people.
-Adequate intake (AI): established when evidence is not sufficient to develop an RDA and is set at a level assumed to ensure nutritional adequacy.
- Tolerable Upper Intake (UL): Maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects.
DRIs are not necessarily found on labels because there is no law requiring that they must be placed there.
Mutations can affect the coding of "base pairs" in the chromosome of an individual by various means like:
1) by Deletion
2) by Duplication
3) by Translocation
4) by Inversion
After all that changes, codes deviates from normal information & can affect individual in negative way. In that manner, Mutations affect individual traits.
Hope this helps!
