Answer: Very unlikely

Explanation:

Generally, point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation, so

before any changes occur in the amino acid sequence, it would have been corrected.

However, when point mutation occurs within the protein coding region of a gene it may results in the change of a single nucleotide to cause the substitution of a different amino acid (which renders the protein non-functional) as in the case of sickle-cell disease.

And this kind of point mutation is specifically called Missense mutation.

Above all, because point mutation is easily reversible, it is very unlikely to change the amino acid sequence of a protein

Answer:

i would like to choose sublimation process to explain about water cycle.As mentioned, sublimation is the process in which snow melts and water get vaporized. Ice melts and turns into water which flows to the seas and oceans.When the temperature increases during the day time, water gets vaporized.Water vapour begin to move upward.As we know, temperature decreases with the increase in height.Due to which water vapour rises,cools and then changes into tiny water molecules.Those water molecules forms cloud.Then the clouds get heavier and begin to collide with each other.As a result rain fall occurs.

Evapotranspiration has also the same process but the difference is that it involves vaporization of water from some biological factor like plants and physical factor like from soil .

i think its my first longest answer which i answered here.Thank you for the amaizing question. Its simple but most important topic
