In animals and plants, there are two pairs of chromosomes - one set from a male and the other set from a female. But occasionally, the original fertilized cell doesn't quite divide correctly and more than two sets arises. The fertilized cell continues to divide with the result that all the cells have the extra set of chromosomes. This happens much oftener in plants and the plant will be sterile and can't form seeds.
Answer:
it loses its tail and develops its legs to be stronger
Explanation:
The answer is
frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype --> q^2
frequency of the heterozygous recessive genotype --> 2pq
frequency of the recessive allele --> q
frequency of the dominant allele --> p
frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype --> p^2
Hope this will help for all
Mutations result either from errors in DNA replication or from the damaging effects of mutagens, such as chemicals and radiation, which react with DNA and change the structures of individual nucleotides. All cells possess DNA-repair enzymes that attempt to minimize the number of mutations that occur
The fossil record
This supports Darwin's theory of evolution, which states that simple life forms gradually evolved into more complex ones. Evidence for early forms of life comes from fossils. By studying fossils, scientists can learn how much (or how little) organisms have changed as life developed on Earth.There are gaps in the fossil record because many early forms of life were soft-bodied, which means that they have left few traces behind. What traces there were may have been destroyed by geological activity. This is why scientists cannot be certain about how life began.
Fossils provide a snap shot of the past and allow us to study how much or how little organisms have changed as life developed on Earth.
