Answer:

Explanation:

Evolution is the change the occurs in the population of an organism over time. It is characterized by genetic variation. Genetic variation occur through mutation,genetic recombination.

Mutation is sudden heritable change. When a change is genetic( a change that occurs in the male and female sex cell) it brings about a change in Evolution because it can be passed from generation to generation leading to change in existing traits or characteristics, some change alter protein function. Some mutation are deleterious and cannot be passed on hence they are lost with time.

Genetic Mutation is important because of the change they cause and it ability to be transferred from generation to generation which give rise to new traits and characters, alteration of gene and genotype frequency that result in evolution.

What are two issues with Lamarks theory of evolution!!!<br><br> I will mark brainest!!!!! Pls
Mkey [24]

Answer:

  • If it were true, all organisms would be complex and simple organisms would disappear
  • It does not account for genetic mutations known to affect physical traits

Explanation:

Lamark's theory of evolution is that changes in the organism's physical form during its lifetime can be passed on to its offspring.  In other words, he believed that children can inherit acquired characteristics from their parents.

The classic example is that he believed giraffes evolved long necks because they would stretch upwords to eat leaves from tall trees, elongating their necks, and then would pass on a longer neck to its children. Or in humans, that a body builder would make a muscular child because of their intense training!

There are a few problems with this theory:

  • If we believe this theory, organisms would always be getting more and more complex and 'improved', so simple organisms would disappear.
  • We know that changes to the DNA influence inherited physical characteristics, not simply continued use

How would a mutation increase genetic variation?
Lena [83]

Answer:

DNA mutation causes genetic variation by altering the genes of individuals in a population. Gene flow leads to genetic variation as new individuals with different gene combinations migrate into a population.

The flow of individuals in and out of a population introduces new alleles and increases genetic variation within that population. Mutations are changes to an organism’s DNA that create diversity within a population by introducing new alleles.

Sati [7]

Answer: Option A) Parathyroid glands

Explanation:

The Parathyroid gland located in the neck region helps in the secretion of an hormone called Parathormone.

This hormone helps to raise the levels of calcium ions in the body, by preventing the loss of calcium ions through urine, and also preventing excess deposit of calcium ions in the bone, thus regulating bone density.
