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.

densk [106]

Answer:the following can be done to allow more NaCl to dissolve;

1.) heating the mixture.

2.) Addition of extra water to the solution.

Explanation:

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the polar water molecules are able to work their way in between the individual ions in the lattice. The water molecules surround the negative chloride ions and positive sodium ions and pull them away into the solution. This process is called dissociation. Now when the solution is heated, the rate of the dissociation between the two molecules increases leading to more dissolution of NaCl. Also in the absence of heating, more Water molecules can be added to the solution to decrease it's saturation thereby favouring the dissolution of more NaCl.

how would the nervous system function be affected if both the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons at every synapse had both syn
Ray Of Light [21]

Small, electron-lucent vesicles known as synaptic vesicles (SVs) are grouped at presynaptic terminals. They hold neurotransmitters and exocytosis, which is stimulated by calcium, releases them. After exocytosis, SVs are formed locally at the terminals.

  • From the presynaptic cell with synaptic vesicles to the postsynaptic cell with neurotransmitter receptors, a signal always moves in one direction across the chemical synapse.
  • The correct routing of nerve signals throughout the body is guaranteed by this one-way communication.
  • A signal is transmitted from one neuron—the presynaptic, or sending, neuron—to another neuron—the postsynaptic, or receiving, neuron—at the synapse, increasing or decreasing the likelihood that the postsynaptic neuron will fire its own action potential.
  • The stimulation causes a sensory neuron to go into an action potential, which alters the motor neuron's potential.
  • Excitatory because it tends to depolarize the cell, this potential is known as an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP).
