A) <u>Mutation</u> is the original source of variations for plants and other organisms  which develops differences among their respective species

Explanation:

Genetic variation leads to the natural differences between each individual and among individuals of a species. The main cause for this variation is due to alleles that cause variations in the composition of genes or the DNA sequences.  

A mutation is a genetic variation which leads to the creation of a new allele in a species population. Each variation in the DNA sequence leads to an allele formation and each allele leads to a difference in character or trait between individuals since they are the alternate version of the original genes.  

Although genetic variations could be brought about by crossing over, random fertilization, or independent assortment; mutation is the original source because it provides the basic raw material for all the evolutionary changes.

(protein)?
belka [17]

Answer:

Since, the original DNA sequence has not been provided, the mutation can be an insertion/deletion or a frameshift mutation.

  1. Mutated DNA
  2. Frameshift mutation/ insertion or deletion
  3. All the amino acids  changed after the  point mutation​

Explanation:

Frameshift Mutation:

  • A frameshift mutation is the alteration in the reading frame of the DNA due to the addition/deletion of one or two nucleotides.
  • This type of mutation moves the mRNA sequence one or two bases forwards or backwards which disrupts the three base codons sequence required for translation into proteins.
  • The CT at the end of the sequence is indicative of a frameshift in the DNA reading frame.
  • Frameshift mutation affect all amino acids in a polypeptide chain as all codons are moved one or two steps forwards or backwards.

What happens when the Earthis plates pull away from each other? What happens when they push together? ​
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Two plates pushed together create a convergent fault. If one plate is oceanic and the other continental, the edge of the oceanic plate will be pushed down. When two plates move away from each other they create a divergent boundary. When this happens under oceans, new ocean floor is created.
