Which type of mutation is responsible for small changes in a trait

Biology
1 answer:
Naddika [18.5K]3 years ago
8 0

<u>Substituion mutation</u>  is responsible for small changes in a trait.

Explanation:

This kind of mutation merely changes the type of nucleotide in the DNA  sequence. The mutation does not cause a frameshift as would a deletion of addition mutation.

A substitution mutation would at worst change an amino acid in the translated protein. This would likely have a slight effect on how the protein folds into an active protein. On the other hand, mutations that cause frameshifts have the biggest effect on the proteins. They change all the amino acids of a protein downstream of the point of mutation.

Why knowledge of physics would help a runner?
Naya [18.7K]
Physics is very common in our lives, and of course this also applies to the performance of a runner.
For example, he or she needs to understand the air resistance when running, they may need to find a way to reduce the most air resistance that is against them so that they can show their best performance.
Or another example is they may need to find out the friction acting on between their feet and the track, they may need to adjust their training in different textures of running tracks, as each acts a different amount of friction.

A phylogenetic tree is the representation of the evolutionary relationships among species. The fossil records are used as evidence to develop a phylogenetic tree. Thus, option A is correct.

<h3>What is a fossil record?</h3>

A fossil record is a depiction of the organisms that shared common ancestors and depicts the change in the structural and functional unit of the organism over many years of time.

They are used to illustrate the phylogenetic tree to show the morphological, structural, chemical, anatomical, etc variations in species that shared ancestry.

Therefore, option A. fossil records are used to show the common ancestry at the nodes.
