Can a mutation be passed down, or does it start and end with the organism?

Biology
1 answer:
vichka [17]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and won't be passed onto offspring.Its seeds will not carry the mutation. The only mutations that matter to large-scale evolution are those that can be passed on to offspring. These occur in reproductive cells like eggs and sperm and are called germ line mutations.

Explanation:

Some mutations are hereditary because they are passed down to an offspring from a parent carrying a mutation through the germ line, meaning through an egg or sperm cell carrying the mutation. Mutations can introduce new alleles into a population of organisms and increase the population's genetic variation.

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, _____ nadh enter the electron transport chain.
SIZIF [17.4K]
The answer is 10 NADH.
For each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis, a total of 10 NADH are produced.
That is; during glycolysis 2 NADH are produced, while another two are produced in the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl-CoA, and in the Citric acid Cycle 6 NADH are produced, that makes a total of 10 NADH, which are then taken to the electron transport chain to produce ATP.

Jon likes hiking. He observes that whenever he hikes up a hill he breathes heavier than when he is on flat ground. Which 2 state
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

Explanation:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

-The body has too little carbon dioxide to maintain function.

-The body is using carbon dioxide instead of oxygen to make energy.

-Blood pressure has decreased, so less blood is being pumped to the muscles.

<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen</em><em> and t</em><em>he muscles in the body of Jon need more energy and therefore, more oxygen.</em>

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure easily allow oxygen to permeate the cells of the lung and diffuse into the blood. At high altitudes, air pressure is generally lower and permeation/diffusion through the cells of the lung into the blood becomes difficult.

<u>Without adequate oxygen, the body cannot generate energy needed for physical activities of muscles. Consequently, the sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen and the body system reacts by breathing heavily to compensate for the oxygen shortage.</u>

The main type of evidence the scientists used is fossils.
Palaeontologists study plants and animals that existed in the geologic past. To do so, they use fossils and try to determine an organism's evolution and relationship with the environment and other organisms. In this example, palaeontologists used fossils from ancient horses that have gone extinct and try to decipher their evolutionary path. Recognising the evolutionary steps of the ancient horses will make it possible to compare them to the modern horses.
