Mutations are changes that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.

They increase the genetic variation within a species because they can create entirely new alleles in a population, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring.

How can carbon dioxide be removed from the atmosphere​
stepan [7]

Answer:

Forests, Farms, Bio-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), Direct Air Capture, Seawater Capture, and Enhanced Weathering.

Explanation:

I got this information from https://www.wri.org/blog/2018/09/6-ways-remove-carbon-pollution-sky Please use to see explanations on how each of these options help remove carbon dioxide. Hope this helps!

If this is an assignment, you might want to stick to just forests and farms as they are ones that are more commonly given as student answers and will not seem as if you looked them up.

Forests are because there are trees, which naturally remove CO2. Farms are because soils naturally store carbon.

Again, please use this link for further research. This is where I got the info and hope it is helpful!
