Answer: The most serious of these mutations will be the insertion of 2 bases. Becasue the genetic code is read in triplets, a 2 base insetion will alter the reading frame of the code causing a frameshift mutation meaning every amino acid after the site of the mutation will be incorrect.
Answer:
mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) has maternal inheritance
chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) has paternal inheritance
Explanation:
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule responsible for encoding the genetics instructions used in the development and functioning of all known leaving organism.
in humans mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) has maternal inheritance and
chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) has paternal inheritance
Answer: Viruses are infectious agents with both living and nonliving characteristics. Living characteristics of viruses include the ability to reproduce – but only in living host cells – and the ability to mutate.

Answer:
(Answers will vary.)
In many forest ecosystems, squirrels and chipmunks compete for acorns and some other resources. However, they don’t have the exact same niches. Squirrels nest in trees, while chipmunks live underground. These species don’t compete with each other for mates either. Thus, squirrels are in interspecific competition with chipmunks.
All squirrels in a particular ecosystem share the same niche. The same is true of all chipmunks. So, both of these species are in intraspecific competition. Competing with an individual from the same species is harder than competing with members of other species. For example, squirrels compete with other squirrels for not only food (acorns), but also shelter and mates. However, they also compete with some other species, such as deer and acorn weevils, for acorns. Furthermore, they are both prey for many of the same predators, such as hawks, raccoons, foxes, and weasels.
