Answer:

1. The most appropriate answer would be an option C.

A point mutation refers to the mutation or change that occurs at only one or a few nucleotides of the DNA.

Usually, a single nucleotide is substituted with the wrong nucleotide due to which only a single codon is affected.

However, it can cause frame shift mutation if insertion or deletion of nucleotide takes place.

In contrast, in chromosomal mutation long segment of DNA is involved. It may involve one or more genes. It mainly includes insertion, deletion, translocation, and inversion.

In addition, chromosomal mutation can cause change in the number or sets of chromosomes such as poliploidy, aneoploidy et cetera

2. The correct answer would be C. A point mutation

A point mutation refers to the mutation or change that occurs at only one or a few nucleotides of the DNA.

? 3. Explain why Surtsey provided ideal conditions for studying primary succession:

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Due to newly formed land.

Explanation:

Surtsey provided ideal conditions for studying primary succession because due to volcanic eruption all the vegetation and living organisms are destroyed from the surface and the land has no vegetation. Primary succession only occurs when the land is colonized for the first time after the formation of land due to natural disaster such as volcanic eruption etc. So we can say that Surtsey provided the conditions for observing primary succession.

How did the kingdoms went from 2-6

Makovka662 [10]

Initially, when scientists were first using the taxonomy system to classify living organisms there were only considered to be 2 kingdoms: plants and animals. However, when the microscope was invented, scientists were able to observe differences in organisms at the cellular level! They were also able to observe microscopic living organisms like bacteria that they had not been able to observe before. Scientists realized it was necessary to add 4 new kingdoms to account for the observations they had not seen before the invention of the microscope.

A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the:

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the: SYNAPSE

Explanation:

A NEURON(or nerve cell) has 3 parts:

1. The dendrites(multiple)

2. The axon

3. The cell body

A SYNAPSE is an area where the dendrites of one neuron communicates with the axon of another neuron.

At the synapse, nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to the other. This is possible through substances called NEUROTRANSMITTERS. There is no direct contact between the axon of one neuron and dendrites of another neuron.
