Answer:

The correct answer will be B.(Can cause cancers)

Explanation:

Somatic mutations are mutations present or found in the somatic cells or non-germ-line cells.

since these mutations are present in the somatic cells and not in the germ cells so they cannot be passed on to the progeny.

But these mutations in the somatic cells can cause  tumor which can lead to cancer. This happens if the gene causing cancer for e.g- Proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene is involved in cell division is mutated. So, the mutated gene is passed on to the daughter cells during cell division and shows uncontrolled differentiation of cells causing cancer.

Thus, option B is correct.

Answer:

1. C.

2. D

3. D.

4. D.

Explanation:

1. Landslides can be initiated in slopes already on the verge of movement by rainfall, snowmelt, changes in water level, stream erosion, changes in ground water, earthquakes, volcanic activity, disturbance by human activities, or any combination of these factors.

2. Landslides are geologic phenomena that can happen suddenly or through imperceptively slow downslope movement. ... A "translational" landslide can happen rapidly and result in all of the soil on a hillside being stripped off and filling the area at the bottom of the slope.

3. Sedimentary rock contains fossils because it was built up layer upon layer, often trapping and preserving animals, plants, footprints, and more within the layers of sediment.

4. The Uplift of the Colorado Plateau. The Kaibab Limestone, the uppermost layer of rock at Grand Canyon, was formed at the bottom of the ocean. ... The action of plate tectonics lifted the rocks high and flat, creating a plateau through which the Colorado River could cut down.

Why are burrowing animals and ground-dwelling birds common in grasslands?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Because grasslands do not have many trees, only lots of grass and flat earth. Even if there were flying birds and tree animals, there'd be very few of these, with the fact that there are almost no trees at all in grasslands.

I hope this helps, please Brainliest me, and have a fantastic day! :D
