Answer:

The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

Explanation:

Mutation is a process that occurs from time to time to the genetic material of living cells. Mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA or gene. It is usually caused by errors during replication or induced by an external substance called MUTAGEN.

A mutagen is any substance that causes mutation in an organism. Hence, according to the question, the chemical substance which is thought to be a mutagen will change the cells after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

N.B: Since mutation affects the gene, it is passed on to the offsprings during reproduction.

What does the growth of lichens symbolise
horsena [70]

Answer:

I don't know exactly what the growth of lichens symbolizes in general, but I found the information about what does it mean for California state:

In 2016, according to The Mercury News (mercurynews dot com), Lace Lichen

becomes state symbol of California. The president of the California Lichen Society, Shelly Benson, said: " Lichens are widely overlooked. Our main mission was really to create more awarness about lichens and their role in the ecosystem."

As Lichen, widespread and may be long-lived, was chosen for a state symbol, its growth may symbolize the increase of state strength.

How will a wind blowing to the south in the Northern Hemisphere be affected
____ [38]

Answer:

The answer is C: It will blend to the East

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect makes storms swirl clockwise in the Southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Coriolis effect influences wind direction around the world in this way: in the Northern Hemisphere it curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves them left. … In these systems there is a balance between the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient force and the winds flow in reverse

Water Cycle :
- Water from the sea and lake is evaporated and Turned into Clouds
- When atmosphere cool it down, these clouds will condense and turn into rain
- Eventually this rain will flow back to the lake or sea and it will repeat the cycle
