The mutation in the somatic cells is known as somatic mutations. As they do not take place in the cells, which give rise to gametes, thus, the mutation is not inherited to the next generation by the sexual means.
On the other hand, the genetic mutations take place in the germline cells, that is, egg and sperm, because of this the mutations possesses the tendency to get passed on from one generation to another.
Thus, mutations are only passed on to offspring when they take place in germ cell DNA. The other kind of cells, the somatic cells refers to the rest of the cells in the body and mutations, which takes place in these cells do not get inherited further to the offspring.
Hence, the correct statements are mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring and mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.
Answer:
A 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Explanation:
The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a system. In other words, when elemental matter undergoes a reaction, the amount of elements used must be equal the amount produced.
The equations in this question depicts the overall photosynthetic process where CO2 combines with H2O to produce C6H12O6 and O2. In order for this equation to obey the "conservation of matter", each individual element must be equal on both the reactant and the product side i.e. the equation must be balanced.
The equation that fulfills this is:
6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Hence, it correctly describes the conservation of matter.
A. Oxygen
You add oxygen to glucose to complete the steps
Use this:
pH = 7 => neutral
pH > 7 => basic (alkaline)
pH < 7 => acidic
So, a pH of 7.6 means the soil is alkaline.
Now, to reduce the impact you should lower the pH.
Sulfur forms acid (H2S or H2SO4) which will lower the pH.
So, adding sulfur will result in the (at least partial) neutralization of the pH and so reduce the impact on plant growth.
Answers: 1) alkaline, 2) sulfur.
