Answer: d). Mining allows useful minerals to be extracted from the Earth.

Explanation:

Mining is a process of extraction of useful minerals from the surface, subsurface and deep regions of the earth which are of economic importance. The mining involves the formation of a huge crator on the land and underwater regions which takes long time to recover. It exerts a drastic ecological impact that is it destroys the habitat of plants and animals. The soil of the mining site becomes infertile.

On the basis of above information, d. Mining allows useful minerals to be extracted from the Earth is the correct option.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Substitution

Explanation:

Mutations can simply be defined as change in the structure of a gene. Mutation can be of different types. These include, but not limited to:

  • Insertion: This involves the insertion of extra base pairs into a DNA
  • Deletion: Loss of DNA section
  • Substitution: When a nucleotide base gets substituted with another base.

<em>Substitution of a base can lead to coding of different amino acid and hence, protein. It can also lead to coding of the same amino acid, otherwise known as silent mutation. Base substitution can also lead to the amino-acid-coding codon becoming a stop codon, leading to an incomplete protein.</em>

The correct answer is substitution.
