What happened after plants first became able to live on land?

After the plants became able to live on land, and the reason for that being the ability for higher glucose production, they managed to influence numerous things on the planet and change it drastically.

Some of the more marking things that happened because of the plants that started to live on land were the change in the composition of the gasses in the atmosphere, the formation of soils, and climate changes.

The plants perform a process called photosynthesis in order to make their own food. For this process they use carbon dioxide. The carbon is used, while the oxygen is a waste product that is released. Over time, through this process, the plants managed to significantly increase the oxygen levels on the Earth, making it suitable for the animals to move in as well on the land.

The increase of oxygen in the atmosphere resulted in climate changes, as the oxygen makes the climate cooler, thus in general the climate cooled off. Also, with their shade, the plants manage to reduce the temperature on the surface, the trees also being able to slow down and affect the low air movements...

The plants, as all organisms, eventually die. When they die, they decompose. In this manner they introduced the land with the first biomass, thus the rocks and the biomass started to mix. Over time this led to the formation of multiple types of different soils.

andre [41]

Answer:

Non-coding DNA.

Explanation:

Inversion is a type of chromosomal abnormality in which the sequence of a segment of a chromosome is inverted or rotated at an angle of 180 degrees.  This type of abnormality can change the reading frame of the gene and can cause mutations.

But if the genome sequence is non-coding that is not involved in the formation of protein synthesis than even if the reading frame is inverted will not affect the phenotype of the cell. Also, the non-coding sequences are removed by the splicing mechanisms.

Thus, Non-coding DNA is correct.
