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.
The right answer is the activation energy.
The catalyst increases the reaction rate by introducing new reaction paths (mechanism), and lowering its activation energy, or activation Gibbs free energy. By doing this it can increase the speed, or lower the temperature of the reaction. It is important to note that the catalyst does not alter the total Gibbs free energy of the reaction which is a system state function and therefore has no effect on the equilibrium constant.
Psychic stimulants include caffeine, cocaine, and various amphetamines. These drugs are used to enhance mental alertness and reduce drowsiness and fatigue.
your answer would be c) iron deficiency
