A mutation is a rare, accidental or induced modification of genetic information (DNA or RNA sequence) in the genome.
The consequences of a mutation vary according to the part of the genome affected. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is passed on to the next generation.
In multicellular animals, germline mutations can be transmitted to offspring, whereas somatic mutations do.
Somatic mutations do not affect cells intended for reproduction, so they are never hereditary:
* Post-zygotic mutations are the mutations that appear in the egg after fertilization. They are rarer and are expressed as mosaic in the individual concerned (the mutation will be present only in the daughter cells originating from the mutated embryonic cell).
* Mutations can appear throughout life on the DNA of any cell; they are then transmitted to the line of the daughter cells. These can, in some cases, become tumor cells and then form cancer.
Answer:
number 1 answer is 3.
number 2 energy is flowing upwards. ex grasshopper eats the grass, rat or whatever that is eats the grasshopper, and the hawk eats the rat. energy is going up each trophic level.
number 3. if the grass became polluted, then animals would get pollution in their bodies and at some point would die. eventually the grass would die too. primary consumers such as mouse, rabbit, grasshopper/snails would accumulate the most pollution because they directly eat the grass. whatever that is in the grass goes straight into their bodies.
Chordates, or members of phylum Chordata, possess a backbone.
