Answer:
Heat
Explanation:
Contact metamorphism happens when hot magma or lava comes into contact with rocks, causing a small area to change into a metamorphic rock. Contact metamorphism will be present on the outside edges of igneous intrusions.
Diffusion has a major part in this. It has proteins embedded in it that allow molecules to diffuse in and out of the cell up and down its concentration gradient.
Answer:
Mutations leading to the better attachement of virus to the host cell would allow the virus to spread the infection and leave more progeny. The reproductive fitness of mutant viruses would allow the mutation to spread.
Explanation:
1. The organisms with same resource requirement compete with each other. Viruses are not living things but once inside the host cell, they behave like living things. Rapid multiplication of virus overpopulate the host cells.
2. Genetic variations are added to the viral progeny by random errors during replication of the viral genome. These random variations may impart beneficial trait, harmful feature or remain neutral. If a random mutation in the SARS-CoV2 virus allows it to adhere better to the cells of the respiratory system, the virus would be better able to infect these cells to spread the infection. Once inside the host cells, the mutant virus would leave more progeny. On the other hand, the wild type virus that lack this mutation would have lesser chances of entering the host cells and may or may not replicate.
3. The progeny of the mutant virus would compete better with the non mutant ones due to the presence of same mutation.
4. Differential reproduction and more progeny of the mutant virus would spread the mutation among the virus.
Not all animals have collagen in their bodies.
