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

Biology

<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.

Is it true that ocean biomes contain a wider biodiversity than land biomes why or why not?
EastWind [94]
The difficulty with this answer, lies in the fact that not all of land and ocean biomes have been completely explored. The ocean is vast, covering approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, with literally vertical miles or kilometers of depth, and with some areas with sparse to no biodiversity. The same can be said about certain areas of large deserts with very low levels of biodversity, void of life, like vast deserts of the Sahara or Gobi. But, the Amazon rain forest contains still unknown species of plant and animal life, just like the ocean. Because of its vastness, intellectually, I would say  the ocean contains more biodiversity, but the answer is scientifically, as of now, yet to be proven one way or the other.

What is a true rib, a false rib, and a floating rib? Why are floating ribs easily broken?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
True ribs are ribs that are connected both at the back of the spine and at the sternum in front. false or floating ribs are not connected at the front which gives them less support and thus more easy to fracture.
