What happens to dna as generations of a species continue to reproduce

1 answer:

3 0

Over time mutations occur. If the mutation is null (no effect) or beneficial, the organism will go on to reproduce and that mutation will carry into the next generation. Faulty mutations that cause harm will not likely be carried forward.
So, several generations later you have some level of change to the original sequence.

Why is maple sap collected in the spring instead of the fall?

tigry1 [53]

Sap flows when daytime temperatures rise above freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 Celsius) and nighttime temperatures fall below freezing.
The rising temperature creates pressure in the tree generating the sap flow.

Describe the key ways in which the atmosphere affects earth. what is the greenhouse effect, and how does it work

topjm [15]

Greenhouse effect - atmosphere traps additional heat (some light absorbed, some reflected. Reflected in form of infrared light. GE occurs when the atmosphere temporarily traps some of the infrared light that the ground emits, slowing its return to space.) Occurs only when the atmosphere contains gases that can absorb infrared light (greenhouse gases: H2O, CO2, methane (CH4).
