Anton [14]3 years ago

Answer:

A gene mutation can be described as errors in the nucleotide sequence of a gene due to errors in the DNA replication process or due to any mutagen. On the other hand, a chromosomal mutation can be described as a change in the structure of a DNA or changes in the number of chromosomes.

A gene mutation occurs in a single gene whereas a chromosomal mutation will affect many genes. Hence, gene mutations will be comparatively less lethal than chromosomal mutations.

Example of gene mutation: Sickle cell anemia

Example of chromosomal mutation:  Down's Syndrome

Is plate-based or a meat-based diet is more nutritious
seropon [69]
Question: is plate-based or a meat-based diet is more nutritious

Answer: But it's also common to choose a plant-based diet because it's considered healthier. And that's for good reason. Research over many years has linked plant-based diets to lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers (as compared with diets high in meat and other animal products

Is a meat based diet better than a plant-based diet? Answer: Mounting evidence shows that reducing meat and increasing plant-based protein is a healthier way to go. A diet with any type of meat raises the risk of heart disease and cancer, when compared with a vegetarian diet.”

Plant-based diet: A plant-based diet or a plant-rich diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of plant-based foods. Plant-based foods are foods derived from plants with no animal-source foods or artificial ingredients. While a plant-based diet avoids or has limited animal products, it is not necessarily vegan.

Meat based diet:

Meat is a complete, high-quality protein containing all of the essential amino acids your body needs for optimal health.


Meat provides more protein per serving (25 grams per 3 ounces) than dairy (8 grams per cup), eggs (6 grams each), legumes (12 grams per ¾ cup), vegetables or nuts (2 to 5 grams per serving).

alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The type of object to be observed determines whether dissecting microscope or compound microscope should be used. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>A dissecting microscope is usually used to observe the surface features of a specimen and compound microscope</em> is used for an in-depth observation of the specimen.

The magnification of dissecting microscope is less than the magnification of compound microscope but dissecting microscope gives a three dimensional image of the specimen. <em>Another special feature of dissecting microscope is its long working distance. </em>

Dissecting microscope uses the reflected light and thus preparation of specimen is usually not required. These features and its long working distance makes dissecting <em>microscope an excellent tool in forensic and scientific applications.  </em>

Compound microscope can be used in situations when a high magnification is required. Looking through the <em>specimen is possible by the use of compound microscope.  </em>

<em>Thus the type of specimen and in how much detail it should be examined determines the type of microscope chosen. </em>
