7 0

Answer:

E) a natural mutagen.

Explanation:

Aflatoxin is a toxin byproduct produced by the fungi especially Aspergillus molds which grows attached to the roots of various crops like the peanuts, wheat and many others.

The aflatoxin is considered a carcinogen and a mutagen as it causes certain changes in the structure of DNA.  The aflatoxin mainly affects the liver and causes a mutation in the genes of the liver and since the aflatoxin is produced naturally by the molds, therefore, is considered a natural mutagen.

Thus, option-E is correct.

why might it be beneficial to regulate what species of plats and animals people are allowed to own in particular environments
Neko [114]
Hi there!

Regulating species and plants in a certain area is beneficial for a lot of reasons. Below I'll list one of the most important reasons for regulating.

- Invasive species. As a direct result of the danger invasive species pose, regulating animals and plants in an area can help reduce the risk of a non-native species wrecking havoc on the environment. In the past and as of today many pet owners buy plants and animals from across the globe. Once they get too big some release them into the environment without any regards for the potential disaster it could bring. An example of this would be the Burmese Python which completely upset the ecosystem of souther Florida once let loose.

What was Mendel's explanation for the fact that 0% of the offspring from this cross were green?
VMariaS [17]
So Mendel got roughly 75% yellow and 25% green in f2. This means that f1 contains all heterozygous genes, as shown below

Y y
Y YY Yy
y Yy yy
Summary: 75% YY or Yy, 25% yy

Which means that green (y) is a recessive phenotype, while yellow (Y) is a dominant phenotype, since plants with heterozygous genotype Yy express the yellow trait.
