How can mutations affect evolutionary processes? A) Mutations are novel genes that increase an organism’s fitness in the environ

ment. B) Mutations are new genotypes that cause an organism to be more poorly fit due to non-functional essential genes within its genome. C) Mutations are changes in the genome that can code for new phenotypes that may be selected for or against by the environmental pressures. D) Mutations are changes to protein structure that create new genotypes that can be selected for or against by the environmental pressures.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect as mutations may be detrimental to the organism and are not always beneficial. Option B is incorrect as there are instances where mutations may enable organisms to be better adapted to the environment. Option D is incorrect as genotypes are not selected for or selected against by environmental pressures, it is only the phenotype (exhibitable/ visible traits) that can be selected for or against, hence option C is the answer.

What cause's cell division
Aleks [24]

Cells divide for many reasons. For example, when you skin your knee, cells divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells. ... When organisms grow, it isn't because cells are getting larger. Organisms grow because cells are dividing to produce more and more cells.

How does an organism such as a plant adapt to living in a dry environment like a desert?
azamat
The ability to adapt to arid conditions can mean the difference between life or death for animals and plants that live in the desert. Some animals burrow deep underground in the heat of the day, lie in the shade until late afternoon or early evening, or have evolved salt glands, which allow their bodies to secrete salt but not sweat so they retain water. Most deserts have dry, arid climates with little to no rain, so every living organism that lives there must find a way to adapt, survive and thrive, or die.

Which statement best describes the energy changes associated with evaporation and boiling
KIM [24]

Atoms gain energy during evaporation and boiling

When a liquid begins to boil, it means its molecules and atoms are gaining increased kinetic energy and the molecules are getting further apart and the liquid is beginning to turn to gas.

Explanation:

Gas begins to form in the liquid and lift to the surface as bubbles and escaping into the atmosphere.  The vapor pressure of the liquid also overcomes the atmospheric pressure in this stage allowing the change of phase. This can only occur as long as the molecules and atoms of the liquid continue to gain energy. This is the reason that even though you keep heating the liquid, it remains at its boiling point temperature as it changes phase.  This energy is referred to as the latent heat of vaporization.
