Answer:

Mutation is a alteration in the DNA sequence in a gene during cell divison iwhere gene is coded mitakeny or due to the error. Mutatio is a random process as it can not be determind or known befor bthechange in sequence what gene or DNA would be effected by it or what genes would be transfer from the parents.

Natural selection is a process where some of the traits that are helpful in the surviving and increasing the number of individuals in a population and transfer from one generation to other according the adaption and change over the long timeline. Thus, it is not random and based on the traits that are helpful in a environment or for the survival of

What is osmosis? ???​
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

In biology, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane (e.g. cell membrane) from an area of higher to an area of lower water potential. Other definitions of osmosis are as follows:

The process of a solvent diffusing through a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration

The tendency of water to flow from a hypotonic solution (low concentration of dissolved substances) to hypertonic solution (higher concentration of dissolved substances) across a semipermeable membrane

In chemistry, osmosis is defined similarly. It is the passage of a pure solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater concentration of solutes when the two solutions are separated by a membrane that selectively prevents the passage of solute molecules while allows the solvent molecules to pass through.

Serous membranes line certain cavities within the anterior body cavity. <br> a. true <br> b. false
crimeas [40]

Serous membranes line certain cavities within the anterior body cavity. This statement is FALSE.

Serous membrane, also known as serosa in anatomy, is a silky tissue membrane made of mesothelium that lines the interior of bodily cavities and their contents. It secretes serous fluid to permit greased sliding motions between friction surface. Organs housed in body cavities that don't open up to the outside are covered by serous membranes that line the body cavities. The epithelium secretes a thin coating of serous fluid that coats serous membranes.

An indication of a serous membrane is the lining of the thorax. The pleura is the name for the serous membrane found in the thorax. The visceral pleura, the innermost layer, is on the lungs, whereas the parietal pleura, the outermost layer, is on the interior layer of the thorax.
