Explain how mutation drives evolution to occur

Biology

Dafna11 [192]3 years ago

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.

liraira [26]
The answer is Spiral.  Spiral does not represent a type of nebula.  There are only 3 types of nebula : Reflection, Emission & Dark.  Reflection Nebulaedoes not emit its own light. Instead, it scatters the blue light from a nearby cool star. Emission Nebulae emits own light. Glow very brightly, and are frequently the birthplace of stars.  Dark Nebulae also called "absorption nebulae", they block light from brighter objects behind them and can only be seen as an outline in front of a bright nebula or field of stars.

Answer the following questions:
Naddik [55]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system allows us to breathe . They bring oxygen into our body and remove carbon dioxide from the body .

2. Tiny hairs called cilia protect the nasal passageways and other parts of the respiratory tract, filtering out dust and other particles that enter the nose through the breathed air.

3. The throat (pharynx and larynx) is a ring-like muscular tube that acts as the passageway for air, food and liquid. It is located behind the nose and mouth and connects the mouth (oral cavity) and nose to the breathing passages (trachea [windpipe] and lungs) and the esophagus (eating tube).

4. The main function of the epiglottis is to seal off the windpipe during eating, so that food is not accidentally inhaled.

5. The heart pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation and the lungs then give the heart back oxygen rich blood to be transmitted to the whole body
