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.

For a science experiment. John gradually added a sedium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to warm vegetable oil in a glass test tube. He

Marrrta [24]

The sodium hydroxide solution and vegetable oil underwent a chemical change.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The reaction between a base and a fat or fatty acid is called as saponification reaction. Here the base dissociates into the cation and hydroxyl ion. The hydrogen from the fatty acid of the oil reacts with the hydroxyl ion to form water which is basically the neutralization reaction. This cation now reacts with the rest of the fatty acid to form a bipolar molecule which is the soap. During the reaction, the solution becomes cloudy but with time, it again goes back to solution. The cloudyness appears because oil isn't soluble in water based solutions and the base is actually made solution in water.

Here the sodium hydroxide reacts with oil to form water and the soap molecule which is a chemical change.

How are whales different from fish

irinina [24]

Whales have horizontally positioned tales opposed to fish and they swim in an up and down type of motion to move, where as fish are the exact opposite flexing and turning their body left and right with their vertical tale to move.

Whales have bigger mouths to eat large schools of krill (their main source of food)

And also, whales are mammals, and breathe with their lungs, whereas fish use gills to breathe underwater. I hope this helped! Please mark Brainliest!

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Temperate grasslands and are two biomes that are dominated by grass species,

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Temperate grasslands have <u>few trees.</u>

Explanation:

Althogh options are not given for this question, here is what I can speculate based on provided limited information.

Temperate grasslands have few trees and large shrubs (mostly absent). Here, <u>grasses are the main vegetation</u>. A major reason behind this is the <u>low average annual precipitation</u> which doesn't allow bigger plants to survive.

For the second part I can say that temperate grasslands have primary vegetation (grasses) whereas other biomes have higher plants as well.
