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)

Which of the following statements is true? Choose one: A. Bacterial species use a limited number of nutrient sources. B. All bac
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A. Bacterial species use a limited number of nutrient sources.

Explanation:

    There are two classes of nutrients that are indispensable to bacteria: macronutrients (carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and hydrogen) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese, calcium, potassium, sodium, copper, chlorine, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium, magnesium, among many others). But it takes more than the nutrients for them to feed, it takes the metabolism, because it is through it that they transform what they have into food.

    The absorption of nutrients to carry out the metabolism only occurs because there are growth factors (environmental) that influence the development of the bacteria. Some examples of these factors are: light, temperature, pH, oxygen and osmotic pressure. Each organism has an optimal growth temperature, or a favorable pH to successfully carry out its metabolism. This will vary from species to species.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation: Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity is the ability of the brain to modify its connections or re-wire itself. Without this ability, any brain, not just the human brain, would be unable to develop from infancy through to adulthood or recover from brain injury.

Why is human blood type an example of multiple alleles? codominance?
Yanka [14]
It is because when alleles show a co-dominant relationship , neither allele is dominant and both are expressed in the phenotype of the heterozygote. The human ABO blood groups provide a good example of codominace. The ABO system is due to a gene that codes for molecules on the surface of red blood cells
