Mutation maybe spontaneous. Acquired mutations occur at some point in a person's life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body while some may target a tissue, an organ or an entire system.

timurjin [86]

The correct answer is option b, that is, the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.  

If the concentration of carbon dioxide upsurges in the atmosphere due to the enhanced rate of outgassing, there will be a constant elevation in the global temperature. The elevating temperature and more dissolved carbon dioxide will result in enhanced weathering of crystal rocks as a consequence of faster rate of reactions and greater acidity.

Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that alleles of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes assort independently during gam
Lera25 [3.4K]

The mix of alleles from various genes that end up in the daughter cells is determined by the anaphase 1 of meiosis 1.

Chromosome segregation during meiosis is mirrored in the segregation of alleles. During anaphase, 1 of meiosis 1 homologous chromosomal separation leads to allele segregation.

Chromosomes display autonomous assortment when they are randomly split into daughter cells during meiosis.

<h3>What takes place in anaphase 1?</h3>

During meiosis I, sister chromatids remain together as homologous chromosomes separate. To appreciate the development of germ cells, it is crucial to comprehend how this odd chromosomal segregation behavior came to be. Here, we show that the pattern of chromosomal segregation during meiosis I is determined by the microtubule-kinetochore interactions that are inhibited during prophase I and the premeiotic S phase.
