Answer:

They affect the structure of proteins.

Explanation:

A mutation is any change that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene. A Gene is a segment of the genetic material (DNA) that encodes the protein needed for the growth and development of an organism. Hence, a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene (mutation) will alter the structure of that protein that the gene encodes.

A protein function is attributed to its structure, hence, once the structure is altered because of unrepaired gene mutations bad, the protein loses functionality. This is why unrepaired gene mutations are bad.

Why is the crust made of the lightest<br> materials, and the core the heavy<br> metals?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Hmm.

Explanation:

<em>'Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).'</em>

List three changes of state during which energy is absorbed.
mote1985 [20]

The three changes of state during which energy is absorbed are:

1. Change from solid to liquid - Melting.

2. Change from liquid to gas - Vaporization

3. Change from solid to gas - Sublimation

All these changes of state require heat energy to break the attractive forces that hold the particles of the molecules together, so that they can move into more disorderly states. For instance, when heat is applied to a solid, the solid absorbs the heat and use it to break the attractive forces that are holding the molecules of the solid together. At a particular temperature, the attractive forces will be completely overcome and the solid framework will collapse, thus leading to the melting of the solid.
