Describe 3 ways a mutation can occur?

1 answer:

3 0

These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.

Predict how many double helical molecules of dna will be present in the gametes of the fruit fly, drosophila, a diploid organism

anygoal [31]

The answer is four double-helical molecules of DNA, which match up to four unreplicated chromosomes. In addition, for fruit fly gametes the haploid number is 4 in which can be written as N = 4. The meiosis is a procedure in which the amount of chromosomes per cell is cut in partial in excess of the parting of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

12345 [234]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

-Frustule

-Autotrophic

-Heterotrophic

The external coverings of diatoms are made up of frustule , while slime molds have cell walls containing cellulose . Diatoms are autotrophic because they make food through photosynthesis, while slime molds are heterotrophic because they eat decaying plant matter.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Diatoms are tiny single-celled algae that are covered with glass like shells made of silica. Slime molds on the other hand are fungus-like protists that re heterotrophic like protozoa in the kingdom protista.

Diatoms and slime molds differ in a number of ways which include;

Diatoms are food producer or autotrophs while the slime are consumers or heterotrophs and depend on the product produced by the primary producer such as plants, diatoms etc.
Diatom posses photosynthesis while the slime mold lack that.
Slime molds are fungus like protists and have both plant and animal like characteristics while diatoms have only plant like characteristics.
The external coverings of diatoms are made up of frustule, while slime molds have cell walls containing cellulose
