Answer:

The mutations in a genome similar to printing a book.

Explanation:

Every letter in a book resembles the mutations in the genome. errors that appear in one copy can be copied to all other copies of the book. Like printing errors, mutations always negatively affect the final product. Just as a single book is printed at a time, a single mutation is read at a time. Though mutations are not always negative and can help in the survival of the species when selection pressures change.

What is the difference between muscle cells and nerve cells

4vir4ik [10]

I mean, there's plenty of differences between muscle and nerve cells. For one, they serve different functions. Nerve cells react and send stimuli rapidly through action potentials, functioning in the nervous system and allowing the brain to communicate with the rest of the body, while muscle cells allow muscles to move. Another difference is the structure of the cells, with nerve cells having dendrites, axons, and neurotransmitters to assist in the firing of action potentials. You're going to have to be a little more specific, I can't really help you any more with such a broad question.

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are isotopes; it means that

jok3333 [9.3K]

A :-) Isotopes are forms of the same element with equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, both carbon-12 and carbon-14 have 6 protons. But carbon-12 has 6 neutrons while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. By definition, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 are all isotopes of the carbon.

Pea plant clones are given different amounts of water for a three week period.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

independent variable: the different amount of water

Explanation:

The independent variable would be the different amount of water supplied to the pea plant clones.

The independent variable is the variable inputted by the researcher during an experiment whose value directly affects the dependent variable. It is the variable that is manipulated during experiments in order to see the kind of effects they produce on another variable - the dependent variable.

In this case, the amount of water supplied to each pea plant would directly affect the height of the pea plants. Hence, the amount of water supplied to the pea plants is the independent variable while the height of the plants is the dependent variable.
