Ans.

Mutations are permanent alterations in the nucleotide sequence of genetic material that are transmitted from one cell to another. On the basis of inheritance, mutations are somatic or inherited.

Inherited or genetic mutations are those mutations that occur in germ cells. These cells are inherited by the offspring from their parents as they are present in gametes. All cells of a multicellular organisms are made up of a single cell zygote. Thus, genetic mutations are present in each cell of the individual as they are present in zygote.

On the other hand, somatic mutations include those mutation that take place in somatic cells. These mutations are non-heritable as somatic cells do not play role in reproduction. Somatic mutations are acquired by individuals in their lifetime due to errors during DNA replication and are passed to their daughter cells.

Mutations are sudden spontaneous random changes that occur on the genetic make up of organisms. They might be somatic mutations are genetic alteration by a cell and can be passed to its progeny of the mutated cell during cell division normally by somatic cells, or germ line mutation are inherited genetic alterations that occur in the germ cells ( sperms and ovum)

1. What might cause an increase or decrease of carbon dioxide in a given location such as in the atmosphere or buried under grou

AVprozaik [17]

1. The carbon-dioxide increases in atmosphere by fossil-fuels, decaying-dead, automobiles etc. and when animals or plant die they get buried and carbon content increases under the ground.

2. Greenhouse gas are those gases which trap heat in the atmosphere and maintain the temperature of the earth.

3. Diamond and graphite are solid forms of carbon.

4. Dry ice is the carbon as liquid.

5. Autotrophs make simple sugar glucose via photosynthesis and this sugar is used by heterotrophs as a substrate for respiration in the presence of oxygen.

Explanation:

When the fuels from automobiles, fossil-fuel, dead decaying organism release carbon in the atmosphere, the increase in carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.

Greenhouse gases absorb the infrared radiations from the earth's surface and reradiate it back to the atmosphere. In short greenhouse gases allow sun's rays to pass through and maintain the earth's temperature otherwise the earth will become too cold to sustain lives.

Answer:

Nonrenewable energy resources, like coal, nuclear, oil, and natural gas, are available in limited supplies. This is usually due to the long time it takes for them to be replenished. Renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time.

PtichkaEL [24]

One reason biodiversity is such an important aspect of sustainability is that it provides vital ecosystem services through the interactions among species and keeps any population from growing too large (option A).

<h3>What is biodiversity?</h3>

Biodiversity refers to the number and variety of species of plant and animal life within a region.

Sustainability is the means of configuring civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.

Biodiversity helps to ensure sustainability because it provides vital ecosystem services through the interactions among species and keeps any population from growing too large.
