The answer for the above question is Deforestation. It involves the removal of trees in large quantities at a time. It affects the atmosphere in a couple of ways which includes; Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air and thus they reduce the amount of CO2 that gets into the atmosphere, acting as global warming. Deforestation causes a release of large amounts of Carbon dioxide in the air through burning of fuels, since there are no trees to remove it.

Why is the Lancelet a chordate, but not a vertebrate?
nika2105 [10]

Lancelet is a chordate but not a vertebrate because it lacks a backbone

Explanation:

The subphyla of the phylum Chordata are - Vertebrata, Urochordata and cephalochordate

Those chordates with a structural backbone belong to Vertebrata.

Urochordates and cephalochordates lack a backbone and hence are termed invertebrate chordates.

Lancelet is an invertebrate chordate of the subphylum – Cephalochordata.  

The lancelets consist of a notochord that extends right from the head till the tail at the dorsal surface. The notochord acts like the backbone and provides support and a semi-flexible structure to aid in the movement of the organism.

They lack a developed nervous system like vertebrates but only has a dorsal nerve tube .

Which of the following is NOT the result of a mutation in the DNA sequence of an organism?
Mama L [17]

DNA is copied during mitosis and when the two resulting copies of DNA are compared they are found to contain the same order of nucleotides is not the result of mutation in the DNA sequence of an organism.

Explanation:

Mutation is the process

It is caused by certain chemicals called mutagens or by environmental factors.

In mutation the nucleotide get change which eventually changes the protein product.

In  mutation purine base gets mutated to purine base and pyrimidine base gets mutated to pyrimidine only.

A single change in nucleotide is called point mutation and the effect occurring because of it is called frame shift mutations.

In S phase there are checkpoints which ensure that DNA replication is accurate and when mitosis follows it equal distribution of DNA takes place between the two daughter cells hence no mutation will takes place.
