Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Changes occur to the nuclear material from time to time. These changes are referred to as MUTATIONS. A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutations are of different types depending on how it occurs.

According to this question, the kind of mutation/abberation described is TRANSLOCATION. Translocation is a kind of chromosomal abnormality in which one segement of a chromosome containing certain genes breaks off and reattaches to a different chromosome.

This is the case in this question regarding the genetic composition of corns where genes for waxy and virescent kernel appearance occur in the same chromosome. It was found out that, in a stock of corn, these two genes are now on different chromosomes. This means that a segment of the chromosome containing one of the genes broke off and got reattached to a different chromosome. Hence, TRANSLOCATION MUTATION has occurred in this stock of corn.

Dvinal [7]
Since the two species co-inhabit the same habitat, habitat isolation can be disregarded as a factor keeping the two species separate. There are however some other broad categories of mechanisms for <span>reproductive isolation. One is behaviour. Many birds in particular have very specific mating rituals, including mating dances, particular bird song, the development of specific mating plumage, the release of specific pheromones and the building of a particular nest structure. Another broad category is mechanical isolation. You will find that the genital organs of particular species are very specific, and preclude other close species from successfully mating. Another broad category is gametic isolation. For most species combinations, it is not possible for the gametes to fuse successfully to form a hybrid. If hybrid games do fuse, in many cases, the hybrids are sterile, such as mules for example.     </span>

A closed metal container that is filled with hot water gets distorted or compressed when it is kept under the tap water. Why?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The closed metal container will get distorted or compressed due to a combination of two reasons:

1.<em> contraction of the metal container as a result of a reduction in its temperature.</em>

2. <em>a reduction in the pressure inside the container caused by a sudden drop in the temperature of the water inside it. </em>

The tap water causes a reduction in the temperature of both the container and the water inside it. An increase in temperature causes metal to expand and a reduction in temperature causes it to contract. Also, water takes less space than steam. Therefore, a reduction in the temperature of the hot water causes a reduction in the pressure inside the container relative to the outside. This causes the metal container to be compressed.
