Answer: Germline mutation

A germline mutation is a mutation in the fully developed germ cells (sperm and ovum). These defective mutated cells fuse to form zygote. The zygote rapidly produces all somatic and germline cells in the offsprings which are also mutated. Therefore, mutation is transmitted from parents to offsprings. Cystic fibrosis is a result of germline mutation. This disease is hereditary in nature passes from parents to the offsprings. If a child receives CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) mutated gene from both the parents than the child will be affected by the symptoms of this disease. If the child receives a single copy of CFTR gene from either of the parent than the child will be the carrier of disease.The mutated gene may be present in the germline cells of the parent or on all the body cells.

Answer: law of motion

Explanation:

Newton’s first two laws of motion explain how the motion of a single object changes. If the forces acting on the object are bal- anced, the object will remain at rest or stay in motion with con- stant velocity. If the forces are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. Newton’s second law tells how to calculate the acceleration, or change in motion, of an object if the net force acting on it is known.

Newton’s third law describes something else that happens when one object exerts a force on another object. Suppose you push on a wall. It may surprise you to learn that if you push on a wall, the wall also pushes on you. According to Newton’s third law of motion,

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Stars viewed with a telescope appear a lot closer than viewed with an unaided eye. That is because telescopes are basically magnifying glasses for you to scout the night sky and see distant things with better clarity.
