Answer:

Gene mutation:

Gene mutation may be defined as change or alteration in the nucleotide sequence of the gene.  DNA replication errors and mutagens are responsible for the gene mutation. A single gene may affected in this mutation. For example: Sickle cell anemia is caused by the replacement of GAG to GUG results in the formation of valine instead of glutamic acid. The shape of RBCs changed from the biconcave to the sickle cell shape.

Chromosome mutation:

Chromosome mutation may be defined as the change or the alteration of chromosome number or structure. Chromosome mutation occurs due to errors during crossing over. The segment of the chromosome may get changed. Large number of genes may get affected. For example: Down syndrome occurs due to the presence of extra chromosome at chromosome 21.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

In a wetland ecosystem:

1- Indicator species: turtles

2- Keynote species: freshwater crayfish

Explanation:

A wetland is an ecosystem either covered with water or saturated with water. Examples of plants living in wetland ecosystems include water lilies lotus, trees (e.g., swamp she-oak), mosquito fern, eelgrass (<em>Vallisnaria spiralis</em>), etc. Examples of animals living in wetlands include dragonflies, mosquitoes, alligators, salamanders, snakes, turtles, grouse, plover, etc. Alligators and freshwater crayfish can be considered keystone species because they are fundamental and their presence defines wetland ecosystems (without these species, wetlands would be dramatically impacted). Moreover, turtles can be considered indicator species because their abundance and distribution in a wetland is an indicator of environmental conditions. These animals (turtles) carry around different organisms (e.g., algae) that are eaten by other species (e.g., fish), and thus contribute to the homeostasis of the ecosystem.
