Answer:

The somatic cell mutation and germ cell mutation.

Explanation:

The mutation is the change in the genetic makeup of an individual. It is a sudden change in the DNA base pairing. This occurs in both somatic cells and in germ cells. The somatic cell mutation creates a new character in the person, and it is harmless. The examples are six digits in man, tailless kitten, etc.

The germ cell mutation is heritable as it changes the genetic makeup of the zygote. This is always fatal to the animals. These mutations are also different types such as point mutation, frame shift mutation, substitution mutation. All changes alter the nucleotide base pairing and result in a new polypeptide formation.

On the basis of inheritance, mutations are somatic or inherited. Inherited or genetic mutations are those mutations that occur in germ cells. These cells are inherited by the offspring from their parents as they are present in gametes. All cells of a multicellular organisms are made up of a single cell zygote.

Groundwater deposits are under threat of depletion and pollution. What are three appropriate solutions for preserving groundwate

Ugo [173]

Groundwater is the body of water derived from percolation, contained within the soil, sub-soil and underlying rocks above an impermeable layer. The top layer of groundwater is known as the water table and it marks the permanent zone of saturation. Three appropriate ways for preserving groundwater are:

- Recycling groundwater for use
-Regulating the amount of groundwater used to water neighbourhood lawns
-Monitoring the chemicals used in fossil fuel extraction

Write a short story describing the application of the system of classification of living creatures

Citrus2011 [14]

All living creatures are classified into systems and sub-systems based on their similar characteristics. They are divided from bigger groups into smaller groups based on the detail of their similarities i.e. how they look, move, reproduce and how they relate to each other. A practical way of understanding the classification of living organisms is that organisms are linked to other similar organisms via family trees. The classification of all living creatures includes at least four levels: order, families, genus and species.

In this activity, you’ll research a threatened ecosystem, the factors that are contributing to its decline in biodiversity, and

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

forest ecosystem is whereby the organism live together and interact with each other and their environment. The biodiversity in this ecosystem is reducing due to the following factors:

1. deforestation: if most of the trees in the forest are been cut down without replacement it will affect the animal living there. especially herbivores, they feed on this plant and use it as a hideout.

2. bush burning: if the bush is burnt it may lead the animals to ran away for there safety and some may die of hunger, and some trees and plants may also become weak and die therefore reducing food for other animals.

3. Climate change: Climate change is one of the reasons. As deforestation may lead to climate change and many other factors, Without transpiration and evaporation cloud won't be form and there will be no rain which may lead to draught and finally animal will die and others will migrate.

possible solution to this

1. Avoid deforestation, and bush and plant more trees.

2. the government can also make laws concerning deforestation, bush burning, burning of fosil fuels and tires to avoid climate change.
