Answer:

A is false

Explanation:

Mutation is a change that occurs in the DNA nucleotide sequence either due to mistakes when DNA is copied during cell division or as a result of environmental factors e.g. UV radiation.

Since all the cells of an organism contains DNA, there are lots of places mutation can occur. However, some mutations are not passed from parents to offsprings and do not matter for evolution. This form of mutation is called Somatic or acquired mutation and it occurs in non-reproductive cells. Hence, won't be passed down from parents to offsprings. This form of mutation majorly occurs when DNA cells get replicated during mitosis or when the cell is exposed to harsh environmental factors that damages DNA strands e.g Ultraviolet radiation.

Mutations are only hereditary i.e can be passed down from parents to offsprings, if they occur in reproductive cells (sperms and eggs). This kind of mutation is called Germ-line mutation.

According to the question, mutations must not always occur in the parents before an offsprings DNA undergoes mutation.

Answer:Answer below

Explanation:

It's kinda hard to answer without the scenarios present.Wait nvm 

1.  the greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.The greenhouse effect occurs naturally. Lately the greenhouse effect has been magnified due to greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere by humans. and global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.Global warming refers to the increase in annual average temperatures across the globe. As the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, the planet becomes warmer and warmer on average.

2. atmospheric carbon dioxide acts as a thermostat in regulating the temperature of Earth

3. fossil fuels like coal oil and natural gasses

When working with radioactive materials you must use radiation detection instruments. Which of the following instruments require
vampirchik [111]

Geiger-Muller tube is instruments requires you test three times the background of the work area.

<u>Explanation</u>:

These detectors are gas filled detectors and hence requires time for responding to the value. This time is taken because during this period it collects the electric charges and features of the electric circuit. It also gets stabilized during this period. This device has thumb rule i.e one must wait or hold for at the least 3 times the time constant before getting the precise and accurate reading. The time constant order is 10 seconds for the ionization chamber but for the Geiger counter it can vary from seconds to greater than 20 seconds
