<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
D) Mutations lead to new genes, which may have an advantage over the old forms, causing the species to evolve.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Mutations are sudden, random changes that occur spontaneously in the genetic make up of an organism.</u></em> Mutation are caused by various factors which includes errors in meiosis, and other factors such as chemical mutagens.
- <em><u>Mutations may be beneficial and may play an important role in evolution as they are raw material of genetic variation</u></em>. <em><u>Mutations may lead to genetic variations in the genetic make up of an organism . Therefore mutations are important to mutation since they create new DNA sequences for a given gene and thus resulting to new alleles.</u></em>
<u><em>-What are the differences between the plant and animal cells?
</em></u>
Plant cells:
- Cell wall present
-Nucleus usually lies near periphery due to vacuole.
- Centrosome is usually absent from higher plant cells, except lower motile cells.
- Plastids are present, except fungi.
Animal cell:
- Cell wall absent.
- Nucleus present near centre.
- Usually centrosome is present that helps in formation of spindle fibres.
- Plastids are absent.
<u><em>-Describe the structure of an ATP module.
</em></u>
ATP plays an important role in releasing and storing energy in cells. It is an ideal source of energy because ATP easily releases and stores energy by breaking and re-forming the bonds between its phosphate groups. The ATP module is composed of three components. These phosphates are the key to the activity of ATP.
Yes you are correct, it is a chromosome
Answer:
Global human population growth is around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012.
Explanation:
he “population growth rate” is the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given time period as a fraction of the initial population. Specifically, population growth rate refers to the change in population over a time period, often expressed as a percentage of the number of individuals in the population at the beginning of that period. This can be written as the formula:
population
growth
rate
Globally, the growth rate of the human population has been declining since 1962 and 1963, when it was 2.20% per annum. In 2009, the estimated annual growth rate was 1.1%. The CIA World Factbook gives the world annual birthrate, mortality rate, and growth rate as 1.89%, 0.79%, and 1.096% respectively. The last 100 years have seen a rapid increase in population due to medical advances and massive increase in agricultural productivity.
