Answer: Mutation

Explanation: Mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. This change occurs during replication where one or more base pairs is either substituted, inserted or deleted in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. These alterations in the DNA sequence produce permanent changes in the genetic information encoded in the DNA. Substitution mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are replaced by another. Insertion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added in a nucleotide sequence while deletion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from a DNA sequence. When these mutations are not adequately repaired by the DNA repair system, these will lead to production of an RNA with an altered nucleotide sequence and will result in the production of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence. The alteration in the amino acid sequence of the protein will result in loss of or altered function of the protein and will ultimately lead to the expression of a different trait in the organism.

What role does transpiration play in the water cycle
Airida [17]

Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form from the uninjured leaf or stem of the plant, principally through water stomata.

Studies have revealed that about 10 percent of the moisture found in the atmosphere is released by plants through transpiration. The remaining 90 percent is mainly supplied by evaporation from oceans, seas, and other bodies of water (lakes, rivers, streams).

Transpiration and plant leaves

Plants put down roots into the soil to draw water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. Some of this water is returned to the air by transpiration (when combined with evaporation, the total process is known as evapotranspiration). Transpiration rates vary widely depending on weather conditions, such as temperature, humidity, sunlight availability and intensity, precipitation, soil type and saturation, wind, land slope, and water use and diversion by people. During dry periods, transpiration can contribute to the loss of moisture in the upper soil zone, which can have an effect on vegetation and food-crop fields.
