A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. This can be beneficial if the change gives a new function to or improves the function of that gene.
<span>The above is a definition. But one must really define "beneficial". Some regard it as beneficial if it helps the specific individual who has it. Others would think it beneficial if it produced some survival advantage that insured more descendents for that individual. </span>
<span>It is the difference between a mutation that allowed for greater athletic ability, but a decreased desire for offspring, versus a more moderate athletic enhancement, but a greater desire for offspring. </span>
<span>The small percentage of ways to improve an organism, versus the near infinite ways of harming the organism, mean that most mutations are not going to be beneficial. At best, they will be "inconsequential" - such as a new shade of eye color, or a mole on a section of your skin. </span>
The populist notion of "powers" that can come from mutations is wildly inaccurate. Even assuming a minor power like the ability to see infra red radiation would take thousands upon thousands of mutations over vast amounts of time. A mutation for blindness is far more likely.
<span>It should also be noted that the traditional model of evolutionary theory no longer applies to man. We don't allow changes in our environment, and without such changes, there is no need for one trait more than another to predominate. After all, it is irrelevent that a mutation might allow for greater speed in running, when everyone drives a car.</span>

Explanation:
Given parameters:
Energy required to break one C-H bond = 98.8kcals
Unknown:
Energy required to break methane = ?
Solution:
The bond dissociation energy is the heat energy absorbed in breaking a covalent bond in the gas phase to its constituents elements.
Solving
CH₄ has 4 C-H bonds
To break 1 C-H bond, 98.8kcals of energy was used,
To break 4 of the bonds; 4 x 98.8kcals will be used = 395.2kcal

Answer: False.
Explanation:
A normal fault is a type of fault in which the hanging wall drop down in relative to the footwall. It is caused by tensional stress, when two block of rocks pull apart from each other. Normal fault normal happen in areas that are undergoing extension or stretching.
Reverse fault are caused by compressive stress.
Answer:
I would say the answer is B because they're bigger animals.
The daughter cells are produced with only half the chromosomes of the parent cell. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D". So the main goal of meiosis is actually creating four daughter cells that are by no means similar to the parent cells.
When these daughter cells that
are created combine together and undergo the process of fertilization, then a
zygote is formed and the development of cells starts. The process of meiosis
can be asexual as well as sexual.
