Sometimes a mutation is beneficial to an organism’s fitness and can be passed on to offspring. What is likely to happen to the m
Allushta [10]

The mutation will occur often in offspring and leads to development of genetic variability in the gene pool.

Answer: C

Explanation:

Mutation refers to the process which causes disturbances in the normal DNA pattern.

When such phenomenon occurs over many generations, it will become a common process in offspring and increase the chance of difference in variability in the genetic makeup as well as the gene pool.

It is because, the first stage of mutation appears tedious to the organism.

As it gets transferred from one generation to another generation, the species due to its capability identifies certain ways and exhibit genetic variability due to the mutation.

By this way the mutation will become more common in offspring as their parent have mated in the presence of mutation.

How do carrier proteins differ from channel proteins in their role as gatekeepers of the cell? carrier proteins expend energy to
Lelu [443]
<span>"Carrier proteins bind to the substances they transport across the membrane via facilitated diffusion, whereas channel proteins provide a pore for substances to move across the membrane via facilitated diffusion."

This is the most correct option.
The main difference, when comparing these two gates of transportation across a membrane through the same process (via facilitated diffusion or any other), is that carrier proteins bind to the substances they transport and only communicate with one environment of the cell (whether intracellular or extracellular) at the time, while channel proteins let substances move across the membrane without any binding being opened to both cell environments.</span>

Answer:

D) carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas which is known to absorb heat that would otherwise be lost to space. It has been shown that CO2 causes approximately 80% of global warming. Different human activities, but especially the burning of fossil fuels, are the main cause of global warming. It has been estimated that 40 billion metric tons of CO2 produced by human activities are being discharged into the atmosphere annually. Other human activities associated with global warming by increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere include deforestation and cement production.

F these cell junctions form a barrier to the passage of materials? which of these cell junctions form a barrier to the passage o
Ganezh [65]
The correct answer is 1, tight junctions. Tight junctions are the junctions seal adjacent epithelial cells in a narrow band just beneath their apical surface. They contain a network of claudins and other proteins. They limit the passage of molecules and ions through the space between cells.
