Since all cells in our body contain DNA, there are lots of places for mutations to occur; however, some mutations cannot be passed on to offspring and do not matter for evolution. Somatic mutations<span> occur in non-reproductive cells and won't be passed onto offspring. For example, the golden color on half of this Red Delicious apple was caused by a somatic mutation. Its seeds will not carry the mutation.

A single germ line mutation can have a range of effects:
<span><span>No change occurs in phenotype.
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.</span><span>Small change occurs in phenotype.
A single mutation caused this cat's ears to curl backwards slightly.</span><span>Big change occurs in phenotype.
Some really important phenotypic changes, like DDT resistance in insects are sometimes caused by single mutations. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects for the organism. Mutations that cause the death of an organism are called lethals — and it doesn't get more negative than that.</span></span>
I think it’s C an increase in producer population
The pentose sugar on RNA is called ribose. (a trick to remember it is that the "R" in RNA stands for ribo)
Hope this helps :)
The clade which is most likely to survive a series of catastrophic events over time is D. a clade with many distantly related and diverse species.
This is because this will ensure they survive given that they are so different, yet closely related.
This is strong evidence for the hypothesis that the chroloplast originated ais a symbiotic cyanobacteriam that became permanentely incorporated into its host.the complete genome sequence of cyanobacteria and of the higher plant arabidopsis thaliana leave no doubt tha chroloplast originated through endosymbiosis from a cyanobacteriam
