Answer:

Following are some of the possible consequences of mutations:

1. Some of the mutations take place in proteins that play an essential role in the function of cells, and thus, the cell dies.

2. Some mutations result in the origination of new traits like red hair.

3. Some mutations take place in genes, which monitor the division of cell and thus cells start to divide out of control, resulting in cancer.

4. Some of the mutations may be beneficial and may offer some benefit to the organism in some of the environments. These advantageous mutations may be encouraged by natural selection and are the basis for the evolution of life on Earth.

The results of the punnet square show that one out of 16 offsprings will have both the qualities of having terminal flowers and being a dwarf.

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which depicts the likely outcomes of a cross. In the above punnett square, for the plants to have both terminal flowers and to be dwarf, both the alleles should be recessive for the traits.

What does paleontology, biogeography, embryology, and anatomy reveal bout evolution

Ugo [173]

Paleontology deals with fossils and helps in learning the changes of living organisms in sequence.

Biogeography deals with the distribution of species across the mother earth.

Embryology deals with the study of the similarities and difference that exists in the embryos of different species or organisms.

Anatomy deals with the study of the similarities and difference that exists among different species or organisms.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As an organism dies, the remaining of these organisms will be buried in soil. These are fossils. Paleontology supports evolution with the information that are related to the fossils, footprints etc. With these we can study the evolution of organisms and also the changes they undergo. There are some technologies like radiometric dating that can be used for the determination of these rocks and fossils ages.

Charles Darwin suggested that the evolution of species were form their ancestor. Biogeography supports evolution by explaining about the distribution of different species over the earth. Embryology and Anatomy supports evolution by describing about the similarity and difference in the species of living organisms. Embryology deals with the embryos and anatomy deals with the structure.

Do you think it is possible to have the benefits of the agricultural & industrial revolution without the environmental costs

telo118 [61]

I do not think the industrial and agricultural revolutions could have occurred without the environmental costs. The industrial revolution in the 18th century occurred at a time in history when people where not aware of the consequences of their actions or the consequences of the widespread use of fossil fuels. Even if they were aware the technology would not have been present to harness power from natural renewable sources of energy.
