Political science is a social science discipline that deals with systems of government and the analysis of political activity and political behavior. It deals extensively with the theory and practice of politics which is commonly thought of as the determining of the distribution of power and resources.
Answer:
Either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
Answer:
B (active transport using ATP)
Explanation:
Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.
In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).
An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.
The attached picture shows how bacteria gain antibiotic resistance. Firstly, a few individuals attain a
beneficial mutation in their genetic material that accords them the capability to survive in an antibiotic. The
individuals are hence able to survive and
reproduce more than those individuals without the mutation. There is, therefore, a genetic
shift in the population in favor of the resistant genotype. After generations, the
whole population becomes antibiotic resistant.
