The mutations would not be passed onto the offspring because the mutation was "contracted" during the organisms life, meaning its not genetically plausible to say that the offspring would get the mutation passed onto it. Its comparable to losing a finger. just because you lose a finger in an accident, does not mean your future offspring will also be born with a missing finger.

Which two natural resources will be most affected as people try to meet the growing demand for food?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

water and land

Explanation:

I assume this is an open-ended question, so you could make an argument for lots of things, but these are the two most important ones in my opinion. The amount of freshwater on Earth is pretty small, only about 2.5%, and most of that is locked in ice. As the demand for food grows, the demand for water for crops and livestock also grows. This is in addition to the increase in water that is needed for a growing population. Climate change increases this problem because of drought. The second most important resource that will be affected is land. If we need more food, we also need space to grow crops and raise livestock. The available space is also reduced because people need places to live and we need to be able to grow trees for wood to build houses and other buildings. I argue that land and water will be the most in-demand commodities as the population continues to increase.

Please HELP me i cant fail this class What are the two forces of gravity that contribute to tectonic plate movement at mid-ocean
iragen [17]

Answer:

"Plate movement is thought to be driven by a combination of the motion of the seafloor away from the spreading ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust, which result in differences in gravitational forces) and drag, with downward suction, at the subduction zones."
