Answer:

Examples of mechanical weathering include frost and salt wedging, unloading and exfoliation, water and wind abrasion, impacts and collisions, and biological actions. All of these processes break rocks into smaller pieces without changing the physical composition of the rock.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering involves mechanical processes that break up a rock: for example, ice freezing and expanding in cracks in the rock; tree roots growing in similar cracks; expansion and contraction of rock in areas with high daytime and low nighttime temperatures; cracking of rocks in forest fires, and so forth.

Answer:

1. d. changes in the methylation patterns of loci involved in growth and metabolic disease

2. b. differences in the expression of metabolic genes

d. changes in histone acetylation patterns

Explanation:

Epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene expression which are not dependent on DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms involve DNA methylation, histone modifications (acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc) and regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNA) pathways. These epigenetic mechanisms work together and mutually reinforce each other in order to modulate gene expression (either by activating or suppressing gene expression). In consequence, transcriptome data (e.g., genes differentially expressed in particular tissues/cells or stages of development) is an important piece of evidence indicating the existence of epigenetic modulation.

Katarina [22]

Mutations sometimes improve the chances of survival for an animal.
But rather rarely. Advantageous mutations do happen, but neutral and harmful mutations are way more common.

Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neutrotransmitters why would a lack of neurotransmitters c

vekshin1

Because neurones will not function properly neither will neuroreceptors if a person lacks neurotransmitters, these two parts (transmiters and receptors) all work together and depend on eachother.

Neurones are resposible for transmitting informations trought the body, and if neurotransmitters are no-existent, information may not be able to get to some body parts since neurotransmitters transmit the information.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
