Answer: The correct answer is-
an agent that causes a mutation in DNA.
Mutagen is an agent or a substance that causes permanent change in the genetic material of living organisms ( DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid). This process is called mutation.
A mutagen can be a chemical, physical or biological agent that causes mutation in the DNA.
Example- Physical agents such as -
- Ionizing radiations like alpha particles, gamma rays, X-rays that brings break in the DNA and cause other damages.
- Ultraviolet radiations that creates pyrimidine dimers ( T=T) and causes replication errors if damage is not repaired.

Explanation:
ur right if its a anser...
Photosynthesis is the process taking place in plants that uses water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose. The thykaloid membrane is the place where light-dependent reactions take place. In this organ, ATP is released or given off.Hence the answer to this problem should be B
Answer:
The answer is true, the pumping of hydrogen ions decreases and finally stopps.
Explanation:
As the cyanide blocks the bindinge site for oxygen, which is normally reduced to water, the pumping of hydrogen from the matrix into the space between the mitochondrial membrane decreases and finally stopps. There is an accumulation of electrons and the components of the respiratory chain are completely reduced, therefore the respiratory chain stopps working.
It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.
There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.
There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:
- no mutation
- random mating
- no gene flow
- infinite population size
- and no selection (natural nor forced).
You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.
For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.
Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.
