<h2>Answer:</h2>

The mutation will show up in the organism's offspring.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Germ cells are cells that produce reproductive cells called gametes. Germ cells are located only in the gonads and are called oogonia in females and spermatogonia in males. In females, they are found in the ovaries and in males, in the testes.
If mutation occurs in the germ cell (i.e., egg or sperm cells) then it is called germinal mutation, this type mutation can be passed to an organism's offspring. As a result of which every cell in the embryo will carry the mutation.

Result: Mutation in gametes are passed to the offspring.

Explain how structure x help a young axolotl survive as it grows

Butoxors [25]

Axolotl is a Mexican salamander or Abystoma Mexicanum. It can survive as it grows through True Cellular Regeneration. This is the ability to regenerate cells, tissues and organs without the need of transplants. The axolotl is unique in the sense that it can renew several structures like limbs, jaws, tail, spinal cord, skin throughout their lives. They can even receive transplanted organs from other individuals and accept them without difficulty.

What can cause a gap in the rock record?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Unconformity is defined as the gaps in the sequence of geological rocks. It is a geological contact that marks the boundary between the different types of rocks. In simple words, they are also known as the time of non-deposition. These unconformities have great significance in the field of geology. They are of 4 types, namely-

(1) Angular unconformity- The sedimentary rocks are initially formed and deposited in an area, after that the area is tilted and erosion takes place. Now, the new sediments are deposited forming an angle, which is commonly known as an angular unconformity.

(2) Non-conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited over the igneous or metamorphic rocks, then it is known as the non-conformity.

(3) Para conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited parallel to the ground surface, and absence of erosion activity, then these surface appears to be a normal (simple) bedding plane. This is known as the para conformity.

(4) Disconformity- When the sedimentary rocks are formed and undergoes erosion, then new sedimentary rocks are deposited over this and diminishes the unconformity. This forms a discontinuity.

Thus, the unconformity arises due to both erosion and lack of rock deposition.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
