What does mutation mean?

Biology
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]3 years ago
6 0
A mutation is a genetic error in the creation of DNA. My science teacher compared it to a copier that made a mistake; the DNA is copied from others, but the "copier" messed up, making part of a helix different. Mutations can be genotypes or phenotypes.

What is the function of the flower stalk
BigorU [14]
The main function of the flower stock is transporting food in the form of water and nutrients to different parts of the plant with the help of xylem and phloem. Xylem helps in transporting cells that help in carrying water and minerals from the roots while phloem transports food in the form of sugar to all parts of the plant. The stock also helps in keeping the the flower steady above the plant folliage. This directly helps in the process of pollination of the plant. The flower that is held steady above the folliage attracts bees and other insects through which it continues the process of pollination.

which of the following abiotic factors can cause harmful effects such as acid rain when too much is releadein to the atmosphere
Kazeer [188]

Abiotic factors can cause harmful effects such as acid rain when too much is releadein to the atmosphere are Carbon, and Sulfur.

<h3>Acid rain</h3>

Acid deposition, often known as acid rain, is a general name for any type of precipitation that contains acidic elements, such as sulfuric or nitric acid, which falls to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms. This can apply to rain, snow, fog, hail, and even corrosive dust. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) that are released into the atmosphere and carried by air currents and wind result in acid rain. Water, oxygen, and other molecules react with the SO2 and NOX to generate sulfuric and nitric acids. While some of the SO2 and NOX that create acid rain come from natural sources like volcanoes, the majority of it is produced by burning fossil fuels.
