Mutations are spontaneous and occur at random however there are some mutagenic agents which increase the chance of this happening such as radiation exposure. If it is a point shift mutation then only a few bases on the dna sequence are changed so only changes a few of the amino acids in that chain (such as inversion of a base). If its a frame shift then the base sequence is altered so much so that every amino acid from after that changes (such as deletion of a base) which can create things such as cri-du-chat syndrome which results from a piece of chromosome 5 is missing. Hope this helps:)

When trying to determine the evolutionary relationship between two species, would a biologist concentrate on homologous features
Lerok [7]
A biologist would most likely concentrate on homologous features to find and analyse an evolutionary relationship between two species, finding homologous traits between species might help biologists to understand the evolution of animals, whereas concentrating on analogous features might help to compare the evolution of different species. Hope this helped!

Air pollution:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Since the early 1900s, many glaciers around the world have been rapidly melting. Human activities are at the root of this phenomenon. Specifically, since the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions have raised temperatures, even higher in the poles, and as a result, glaciers are rapidly melting, calving off into the sea and retreating on land.

The answer is B)<span> </span>temporal isolation.

<span>
<span>Temporal isolation is a type of reproductive isolation, which could be prezygotic or postzygotic. Temporal isolation is prezygotic reproductive isolation since it occurs before fertilization and zygote production. Temporal isolation is result of temporal differences in breeding. In this example, the breeding season of Rana aurora lasts from January to March while the breeding season of Rana boylii lasts from April to July. So, these two breeding seasons do not coincide and these species could not mate.</span></span>
