A mutation is any change in the number or structure of a chromosome. The image you see here shows damaged DNA. There are several possible causes of mutations, such as radiation damage or chemical exposure. Sometimes, segments or entire chromosomes are deleted and not passed on to the new cell. Other times, the patterns are mixed up or made backwards. All of these mutations cause changes in normal patterns and result in new chromosome formations.

How does stormwater management help control flooding in cities? (1 point)
Pani-rosa [81]

Storm water management help control flooding in cities as "it includes providing areas of green space to help with runoff".

<u>Answer:</u> Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Green infrastructure can help in order to manage both localized and riverine floods by reducing the storm water runoff and protecting floodplains. Green infrastructure strategies reduce runoff in areas affected by localized flooding, preventing water from overflowing pipe connections and pooling in streets or basements.

Habits of green infrastructure that promote infiltration are like bioswales, permeable pavements and rain gardens. Such activities minimizes the volume of storm water flowing into streams and rivers by conserving floodplain's natural function and mitigating destruction to infrastructure and properties.

Apply the principles of diffusion to explain what will occur after placing a dyed sugar cube in a beaker of water
snow_lady [41]

The molecules in the sugar move from an area of higher concentration (sugar cube) to an area of lower concentration in the water.

That is exactly what diffusion is: the net movement of molecules or atoms driven by a gradient , which means that it doesn’t requires energy.
