Answer:

Deletion mutation refers to the deletion of a sequence of DNA or a part of a chromosome.

It can vary from a deletion of a single nucleotide to an entire chromosome.

It is usually caused by errors during replication, errors during crossing over, and translocation.

Deletion can cause various genetic disorders in human, for example, Williams syndrome (deletion of genetic material from chromosome 7), cystic fibrosis (2/3rd cases are caused by deletion of three nucleotides from chromosome 7), cri du chat syndrome (due to deletion mutation occur in chromosome 5) et cetera.

It can also lead to infertility in males.

In extreme cases, it can also lead to the death of an individual.

artcher [175]

The answer is auxin can move to the shady side of the stem.

Phototropism is a reaction to environmental factors. It is a plant's response to sunlight in the form of movement. In plants, phototropism is very prevalent. In actuality, it is necessary for plant growth. Other plant movements also occur in response to touch, water, gravity, and other factors. Phototropism was discovered due to well-known experiments by Charles Darwin and Boysen Jensen.

There are two types of phototropism:

  • Positive phototropism
  • Negative phototropism.
