28. <u>Answer</u>: All mutations do not affect the organisms due to the following reasons:-
1. The DNA consists of both coding and non coding regions. The coding regions are known as exons and non coding regions are called as introns. The <em>non coding regions </em>do not make up the protein. Thus, if the mutations occur in non coding regions they do not affect the organism.
2. There are some mutations that result in the change of the codon but the new codon formed codes for the same amino as the previous one. This is possible because of the degeneracy of genetic code. For eg, AAA codes for lysine, however if the mutation changes this code to AAU then this also codes for lysine. Such mutations are called as <em>silent</em> mutations.
3. There are some mutations which result in the change in amino acid however the new amino acid formed is similar to the previous one in its properties for e.g leucine and isoleucine. Such mutations are called as <em>neutral</em> mutations and they do not affect the organism
29. <u>Answer</u>: 1. The process of mitosis results in the formation of <em>two diploid cells</em> whereas meiosis results in the formation of <em>4 haploid cells.</em>
2. The process of mitosis takes place to produce copies of the <em>body cells </em>whereas the process of meiosis takes place to produce the <em>gametes</em>.
<u>Explanation</u>:-
- <u>Mitosis</u> is a process in which a cell undergoes a single round of division to produce two identical copies of itself . It occurs in 4 phases Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. This process occurs in the body cells.
- <u>Meiosis</u> is a process in which a cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce 4 copies of haploid cells from a single diploid cell. This process takes place for the formation of gametes.
29. <u>Answer</u>:
<em>Pros</em>
1. Genetic engineering helps us to tackle several diseases. There are many diseases which are caused due to genetic mutations. Genetic engineering helps us to rectify these mutations and hence combat such diseases.
2. Genetic engineering helps us to produce new foods which can withstand adverse conditions such as high/low temperatures, low rainfall, are disease and pest resistant etc. This, genetic engineering helps to significantly improve crop production.
<em>Cons</em>
1. Genetic engineering leads to a decrease in genetic diversity.
2. It can lead to a decrease in the nutritional value of food as genetic engineering often causes an accelerated growth of animals and hence, the nutritional valie of poultry foods is compromised.
Answer:
Sensory adaptation.
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, after the removal of the two jelly beans, Kyle has now 248 jelly beans which is a slightly neglectable difference, it means that the answer is sensory adaptation since it refers to a decrease in the sensitivity to a stimulus due to the constant exposure to it, which also reduces our awareness when a neglectable change happens.
This is proved since Kyle was constantly holding the bag so a difference of two jelly beans will be almost neglectable making the sensory adaptation the reason behind this.

The endocrine gland is the one that is ductless an release its secretion directly in bloodstream example liver, pancreas, etc. The given statement is true and the correct option is B.
<h3>What is endocrine gland's secretion called?</h3>
The secretion of endocrine gland is referred to as hormones, which are chemical messengers that helps in body's control and coordination.
The endocrine gland is the one that is ductless an release its secretion directly in bloodstream example liver, pancreas, etc.
