The correct answer is B. Insertion

Explanation:

In genetics, a mutation refers to a change or alteration in the nucleotide sequence in the DNA of an organism, this implies the order of nucleotides included in a sequence that is composed of nucleotides of  Adenine (A), Guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T) change. In the case presented this occurs as one cytosine (C) nucleotide is added to the new sequence (AAGCCTGCGCAAT) which means the kind of mutation is insertion because a new nucleotide has been added or inserted into the sequence instead of eliminating a nucleotide (deletion), changing one nucleotide for other (substitution) or duplication a nucleotide (duplication).

Write a paragraph explaining how genetic variation, reproductive strategies and environmental pressures have impacted the surviv
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: Genetics and Pressures

Explanation:

For natural selection to occur, a population must have a wide variety of individuals with different traits. For example, natural selection would not influence fish body color if all individuals in a population were exactly the same color. Variation of scale color can help a fish species have a higher chance of survival by confusing predators as to what species they are.

Reproductive strategies represent a set of behavioral, morphological, and physiological adaptations that facilitate access to potential mates, improve the chances of mating and fertilization, and enhance infant survival. Male peacocks have bright, big tail feathers, for example, to attract females. If an organism has a high appeal, this will make them more likely to be able to meet and continue the survival of the species.

Environmental pressures, such as plant death, could influence the survival of herbivorous organisms. Say a small land creature consisted off grass, and an epidemic killed all the grass in their region. They would either die off, or they would evolve to find different types of food. The former could reduce population, while the latter could increase it.

Camille and her friends enjoy experimenting with different foods. During a camping trip, they decide to fry bacon using nothing
Fantom [35]
<span>The two sentences that accurately describe the girls' experience with heat transfer are "Camille heats a rock in the campfire for 30 minutes, and then removes it with tongs. She greases the rock and lays the bacon strips directly on it." By heating the rocks in the campfire and laying the bacon on the rocks, the girls transferred the heat from the fire to the rocks, and the heat from the rocks to cook the bacon.</span>
