A change in a sequence of DNA bases in a bacterial cell has resulted in a mutation. This mutation has increased the ability of t

he bacteria to break down and digest organic molecules in the environment. Bacteria with this mutation are better able to find and utilize food sources. According to the theory of natural selection, select the change that is MOST likely to occur in future generations of this bacteria.

Answer:

The relative frequency of the mutation will increase as time passes.

Explanation:

This random mutation has, by chance, caused a phenotype that is beneficial to the bacteria. This mutation improves the fitness of the bacteria, as they are able to utilize more food sources. This reduces the chance of starvation and death of the cell. Therefore, cells with this mutation are more likely to survive, and for longer.

In times where nutrients are scarce, bacteria without the population will die off. But the bacteria with this mutation will be more likely to survive and pass on their genetic material. Therefore, over time, the frequency of this mutation will increase.

The cell theory eventually replaced the concept of spontaneous generation as a result of what experimental evidence?
miskamm [114]

Answer & explanation:

The cell was discovered in 1669 by the English scientist Robert Hooke when looking at a piece of tissue in a two-lens microscope. Hooke was able to visualize small cavities in the experiment piece, then naming such cell cavities.

Only a century and a half after the discovery of the cell, that the Cell Theory was launched, replacing the theory of spontaneous generation (or abiogenesis).

Before that, many scientists were already busy understanding the structure and functioning of the cell, generating knowledge that became fundamental to the development of biology, specifically cytology, a branch of science that studies the structure, functions and development of cells.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave generators harness the power of breaking waves which are disturbances that transmits energy to produce electric power for homes and industries.

This energy source is choice by many because it is environmentally friendly.

Here are some of the disadvantages;

  •  Threats to marine ecosystem especially those organisms that resides on the continental shelf where most these generators are installed.
  • It can pose serious damage to the beach natural outlook as energy waves can be periodically discharged.
  • Disruption of ships and vessels that might dock near the beach.
  • Noise pollution generated by the plant is undesirable.
  • The seasonality of waves might cause fluctuations in power generation.
