Answer:
increasing soil erosion.
Explanation:
Mining for mineral resources is an intensive task that involves disturbing and disrupting the lands where the minerals are found. The process of mineral exploration and eventual mining cause great disturbances to the affected land and one of the damages done to such land is great increase in soil erosion.
Development is where the growth of the embryo occurs. After fertilization and implantation, the growth of the embryo occurs once it gets to the uterus. This is the part where the procedure where the embryo turns into a living being over time - depending on the animal that has the said embryo.
Answer: A) i just did the test
GAU to GAC is least likely to change phenotype of an organism.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Phenotype of an organism is defined as the physical characteristics of an organism. This phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the organisms. This means the phenotypic characters are actually the expressions of the genes of the organisms. Now the genes are expressed in form of codons that are the three nitrogen base sequences. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid which in turn polymerises to from the protein which actually forms the phenotype of the organism.
Now there are 20 amino acids and 64 codons. Thus there are more than 1 codons for a single amino acid. So, if a codon is replaced by another codon which codes for same amino acid, then the phenotype is least likely to be affected.
Both the GAU and GAC codes for aspartic acid. So the phenotype won't be affected much by this mutation
