Answer:
It is a beneficial mutation.
Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. Mutations can beneficial, neutral and harmful or deleterious. When change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA a mutation enhances the effectiveness of a protein or improves the protein function, it is said to be beneficial. When a mutation causes the synthesis of a protein which have the same amino acid as the original protein and performs the same function as the original protein, it is said to be silent or neutral. When a mutation results in the synthesis of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence and a nonfunctional protein, it is said to be harmful.
A zygote will not undergo meiosis
in an environmental state that is not favorable for the zygote’s survival i.e.
the chance of the zygote to survive is not certain. Take for example, chlamydomonas
will form a zygote under normal asexual mitotic reproduction in a favorable environmental
condition. However, under unfavorable environmental conditions the organism
also reproduce sexually to form a zygote but will never proceed to meiotic
division because of the unfavorable environmental state.
True - ligaments can be overstretched.
Fact, BRCA genes help with cell division in the breast and prostate regions. Therefore, if they are mutated, the cell division process wouldn't function normally and possibly end up in cancer since the BRCA genes tend to be tumor suppressors (cancer is a malignant tumor).
Primary consumers (such as grazers and browsers) of the biological community will put pressure on the primary producers (these are plants) since the primary producers have limited resources (water) to reproduce due to the drought. The primary producers hence become scarce and cause the primary consumers to compete for limited resources. This causes the primary producers to reduce in population. Reduction in their population causes limited resources for secondary consumers and this cascades up the food web to tertiary consumers.
