Explain how mutation drives evolution to occur

Biology

Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Mutations occur at random. Mutations lead to the translation of slightly different proteins, due to the changes in DNA, hence influencing phenotypes. Mutations can, therefore, confer advantage or disadvantage to individuals in a population bearing it. Those mutations that confer an advantage in the environment in the struggle for resources or escaping predation are preserved by natural selection. Those that confer disadvantage are ‘weeded’ out. Mutations act as a base on which natural selection pressures can act on. A population, therefore, will evolve to changes in its environment through mutations and natural selection pressures.

Answer AND Explanation:

The variations that Darwin regarded as raw materials for the process of evolution have been traced to changes that occur at the gene level or the chromosome and these changes are called mutations. Organisms with beneficial mutations are able to pass them on to their offspring during reproduction. Transmission of such mutations through many generations could lead to the emergence of new species. The emergence of new species requires a long time and is also affected by the rate of mutations that a particular species undergoes. This leads to evolution.

Why are shadows longer in the morning and evening?
Luden [163]

Answer:

Shadows are longest in the early morning and late afternoon/early evening when the sun appears low in the sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the sun hits each location in the morning at an angle. ... As Earth continues to spin toward sunset, the increasing angle causes shadows to lengthen!

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Active transport requires cellular energy for substances to cross the cell membrane; passive transport does not.

Explanation:

Active Transport works against the concentration gradient and therefore needs energy to make it happen

Passive transport such as Diffusion and Osmosis uses the properties of natural movement of particles which moves the molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration or down the concentration gradient and happens passively without the need for energy

liq [111]

He or she is said to be in a positive nitrogen balance state.

Nitrogen balance is the traditional method of determining dietary protein requirements. Determining dietary protein requirements using nitrogen balance requires that all nitrogen inputs and losses are carefully collected, to ensure that all nitrogen exchange is accounted for. Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair, and pregnancy. This means that the intake of nitrogen into the body is greater than the loss of nitrogen from the body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein.
