Answer:

Sex  cells i.e sperm and ovum

Explanation:

Mutations that are passed on to daughter cells occur in the sex cells because it is the sex cells (either sperm or ovum) which rejoin and pass on their associated traits to the offspring. While non-sex cells, also known as somatic cells mutation is passed on to the cells that are formed during cell division either through mitosis or meiosis.

O que a china pode fazer para evitar o estresse hidrico?

Answer:

Explanation:

water stress is used to describe a scenario in which, in a given region, the demand for water is greater than its availability and capacity for renewal. In this type of situation the amount of water available is insufficient to meet the needs of use. A country is considered to be under water stress when water availability is less than 1,700 m 3 per capita per year, according to the UN.

Among the main causes of water stress are: water wastage; population growth and intense urbanization with a consequent increase in the consumption of water for domestic, industrial, agricultural and livestock purposes, among others; water pollution by the discharge of sewage, solid waste, industrial waste and chemical products from agricultural activities; global warming , which directly affects the water cycle ; inequalities in water distribution and poor supply systems.

Water stress is a reality in many regions of the world and it is estimated that in a short time many other places will be part of this scenario. UN data reveal that by 2025 about two-thirds of the world's population will be living under conditions of water stress. Some regions have even reached the water shortage, such as the Middle East . Among the regions hardest hit by water stress are North Africa , Mediterranean (European and African), Southeast Asia, Northeast China, Australia, United States and Mexico.

Population growth and economic development are the main factors contributing to the increase in water consumption in the world. With this, the amount of water consumed per capita grows more and more, but the amount of this resource on the planet remains unchanged. Most of this economic growth occurs in developing regions, such as Africa and Asia, which already tend to lack water availability. In the case of developed countries, the problem is different: improving living conditions means that per capita water use increases.

With regard to water availability, Brazil is a privileged country, presenting approximately 12% of the world's fresh water. However the distribution of this resource is extremely unequal, with about 68% concentrated in the North region. The Southeast region has only 6% of the country's freshwater reserve. In other words, the most populous regions have the lowest water availability. The Northeast region suffers the most from water stress, since it is the most arid in the country, passing through long periods of drought .

The impacts caused by water stress are many, from environmental and social problems to political and economic ones. It is also worth mentioning the possibility of wars, which had previously occurred only in the case of land, oil or other resources. Possible solutions to avoiding the continuity of the water crisis include the use of technologies that consume less water in irrigation, conscious consumption of water, avoidance of water pollution, waste management and effluent treatment efficiently , improve supply networks, and government action to establish laws and incentives that encourage everyone to realize that water is a limited resource.

A special group of chemical substances that are used to treat diseases caused by microbes are called?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

A special group of chemical substances that are used to treat diseases caused by microbes are called antibiotics.

An antibiotic is a chemical compound that is toxic to other bacteria and is produced by a living thing, usually a bacterium. In a complex environment like soil, organisms undoubtedly use antibiotics to regulate the growth of competing microbes. Soil microorganisms frequently produce antibiotics.

Bacteria and fungi are microorganisms that produce antibiotics that help prevent or treat disease. With the invention of penicillin in 1941, antibiotics gained widespread recognition. Since then, they have fundamentally changed how bacterial infections in humans and other animals are treated.

In your own words Describe how autotrophs and heterotrophs obtain energy. please this answer must be at least 150 words any one
blsea [12.9K]

The autotrophs are the primary producer in the food chain and they are the ones who initiate the food chain. They produce food by using sunlight or sometimes chemical energy or reactions. They primarily use carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to form sugars or carbohydrates which become their energy source. They use the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to generate food. Examples of autotrophs are green plants, green algae, bacteria.

Heterotrophs cannot make their food via sunlight or other inorganic sources and hence are dependent on the autotrophs or other animals. The heterotrophs have been ranked as secondary and tertiary consumers and cannot be producers.  They consume the organic products made by autotrophs to obtain energy for various metabolic and biological activities. The heterotrophs can be herbivore, carnivore, fungi, parasitic plants.

Some are photo-hetrotrophs,  who use light as energy but cannot use carbon  dioxide as the carbon source since they cannot fix the carbon like autotrophs.
