Answer:

Option). duplication.

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in DNA, due to change in its nucleotide sequence. A mutation that occurs due to replication or duplication of a portion of genetic material is known as duplication.  

As altered sequence in given bacterium represents duplication of three guanine nucleotides, the type of mutation that caused this sequence change is duplication.

Original sequence: act<u>ggg</u>atcct

Altered sequence:  atcggggggatcct

Thus, the correct answer is 'duplication.'

Which of the following is an example of primary succession?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

B. the appearance of lichens and mosses in an area where a glacier has recently melted away

Explanation:

Ecological succession, which refers to the series of changes that occurs over time in an ecosystem, can be of two types namely: primary succession and secondary succession.

Primary succession is a succession that involves an area where no form of life has grown previously, hence, the area of land is barren e.g bare rock. Primary succession is first colonized by species called PIONEER SPECIES e.g. lichens, mosses etc.

According to this question, "the appearance of lichens and mosses (pioneer species) in an area where a glacier has recently melted away" is an example of PRIMARY SUCCESSION.
