Biology
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations are commonly caused by mistakes during DNA replication. However, they can also be caused by ultraviolet radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, and infection by viruses. But, a mutation usually occurs when a nucleotide in the DNA gets changed, causing the nucleotide sequence to be copied incorrectly which leads to the wrong code for a protein. This can sometimes be fatal.

Hope that helps.

The correct answer is transitional.  

Gerobatrachus refers to an extinct genus of amphibamid temnospondyl, which thrived in the initial Permian, that is, about 290 mya, in the region, which is now known as Baylor County, Texas. The transitional form of fossils are those that demonstrate the intermediate form between the two distinct living species, it could be in a form of an ancestor and its descendants. It is considered that the frogs and salamanders have evolved from a common ancestor of primitive amphibian tetrapod subclass known as Temnospondyli.

A newly discovered solar system is found 300 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

1 kilometer = 6.68 × 10^{-9} (<<<AU is in scientific notation here)

To convert 300 billion kilometer (3,000,000,000 km)  into AU you must multiply the kilometer by the equivalent of 1 km in AU (6.68 × 10^{-9})

3,000,000,000 × (6.68 × 10^{-9}) =  20.04 AU

Hope this helped!
