Answer:
Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA due to changes in nucleotide sequences. Mutations that cause addition of extra nucleotides in a nucleotide sequences are known as frameshift mutations
Answer:
Sexual reproduction:
Pros: leads to greater genetic variation.
Cons: requires more time and energy.
Asexual reproduction:
Pros: Does not require finding a mate.
Cons: Produce less genetic variation.
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals.
Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis.
Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development.
Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion.
Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate.
Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.
The conditional release of an inmate with a terminal illness is called a compassionate release. It can also be termed as medical parole or medical furlough. This can be arranged by courts or wardens, but the application or processing of this type of release differs from country to country. Unlike a regular parole, this release is based on medical conditions of the inmate. It is also considered when aid outside the prison would be more helpful to the illness than the services the prison can provide.
