Insects<span>, which are a type of </span>arthropod<span>, are easily the most numerous group of multicellular </span>organisms<span> on the planet, with about a million species identified so far. The title of heaviest insect in the world has many rivals, the most frequently crowned of which is the </span>larval stage<span> of the </span>goliath beetle<span>, </span>Goliathus goliatus<span>, the top size of which is at least 115 g (4.1 oz) and 11.5 cm (4.5 in). The largest confirmed weight of an adult insect is 71 g (2.5 oz) for a </span>giant weta<span>, </span>Deinacrida heteracantha,[1]<span> although it is likely one of the </span>elephant beetles<span>, </span>Megasoma elephas<span> and </span>Megasoma actaeon<span>, or </span>goliath beetles, both of which can commonly exceed 50 g (1.8 oz) and 10 cm (3.9 in), can reach a higher weight.<span>[1]</span>

in sexual reproduction an offspring is produced with genes from both parents when the offspring has a new genetic variation that
cluponka [151]

Explanation:

Mutations introduce novel variety in a population.

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Further Explanation:

During reproduction other events, such as crossing over during  meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism.Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

This statement is true

Explanation:

Technologies associated with agriculture systems have greatly enhanced crop yields around the world. An example of this is the "Green revolution" in 1950-1960, where the combination of genetic improvement methodologies with the use of fertilizers was critical for the amazing increase in crop yields, particularly in new varieties of rice and wheat. Indeed, the agronomist who developed some of these high yielding varieties of wheat, Norman Borlaug, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to the extensive increase in crop production, thereby helping to alleviate world hunger.
