Is it easy for breeders to produce mutants?

It depends! If we're talking about something like a cute little Matlipoo, your answer is yes. These are technically considered mutants as they posses characteristics that are not found in either of the original populations (Maltese + Poodles). Not all mutations are bad. Those who survived the bubonic plague are said to have a mutated gene that enabled them to be more resilient against the illness. 

In the case of inbreeding the mutation can prevent offspring from being born by either causing sterility in the parents, or it will cause a miscarriage so the fetus is terminated naturally in the beginning. Sometimes the offspring is still born (deceased at birth), or has debilitating symptoms like in cerebral palsy. So there is a chance that the offspring may never be born, making it impossible for a breeder.

Mutations can also be spontaneous, so a breeder might mean well by selecting two animals from different family trees, but both of the parents could produce mutant offspring together.

This question is pretty vague, you should ask your teacher for clarification.

Dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, provides absolute dates in two different ways: directly, and by calibrating radiocarbon results. Cross-dating determines the age of undated wood by directly matching ring patterns with trees of known age.

Hope this helps ^^

Why are horses and donkeys considered the same species even though they can produce offspring
alisha [4.7K]

Donkeys and horses can have a mule together, but the mule is unable to have offspring of its own. That is why horses and donkeys are considered to be different species - their offspring is infertile

Describe the process of blood clothing​
Serga [27]

Answer:

Blood clotting normally occurs when there is damage to a blood vessel.

Explanation:

Platelets immediately begin to adhere to the cut edges of the vessel and release chemicals to attract even more platelets. A platelet plug is formed, and the external bleeding stops.

Next, small molecules, called clotting factors, cause strands of blood-borne materials, called fibrin, to stick together and seal the inside of the wound. Eventually, the cut blood vessel heals and the blood clot dissolves after a few days.

Please mark me as brainliest :)
