Mutations are like genetic mutations. Say a bird species may usually have a orange beak but one bird was born with blue, that’s a mutation.
Adaptations are things you adapt to like plant species have adapted over the year to receive less and less water to live.
Natural selection is basically ‘killing off’ the weaker ones. Say a bird species has broad wings but mutations happened over time leading them to have small wings that do not allow flight, they may eventually all die off due to that. Extinction is if al those birds were to die off from that mutation.

Answer:

Sample Response: Adaptations result from random mutations in the genes of organisms. Depending on the environment, these adaptations may be favorable or unfavorable. If an adaptation is favorable, it is selected by nature and, over time, more and more organisms in a population will have it. If the environment changes so much that the adaptations of a species are no longer enough for the species to survive, extinction will occur.

Answer:

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves travel slowest in dense matter such as solids. On the other hand, mechanical waves travel quickly through solids. For example, sound travels fastest through solids. This difference is because EM waves do not rely on the movement of particles to travel. Since they require no medium they can travel the fastest in space or other vacuums.

Which must be true for metamorphism to occur?

choli [55]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. For metamorphism to occur, the parent rock must be in solid form. Metamorphism is the alteration of the structure of a rock by factors like heat and temperature so it must be the material should be in solid form.

Flu vaccines need to be revised and changed every year because the flu virus constantly mutates. Flu viruses can change in two ways: drift or shift. Antigenic drift occurs when genes of the virus slowly change during replication until the immune system no longer recognizes it. On the other hand, antigenic shift occurs when a major change in the virus happens. This usually leads to a totally different kind of virus. This is what happened during the H1N1 scare in 2009.

DNA viruses like mumps are less prone to mutation due to the presence of DNA polymerase. RNA viruses are more prone to mutation because they undergo reverse transcription to simulate the role of DNA.
