Answer:
Mutation is the source for new genetic variation: Genetic variation is brought about by random mutation. Without mutation, genetic variation cannot occur. Mutation is a change in the genetic code in DNA and can lead to a change in the protein that is coded for that segment of DNA.
Explanation:
Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA and are an important driver of diversity in populations. Species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time. ... This mutation has introduce a new allele into the population that increases genetic variation and may be passed on to the next generation.
When the earth is between the moon and the sun
Answer:
They have uncoiled to form long, thin strands.
Explanation:
Chromosomes are present in cell nucleus and consist of chromatin. Genes are present in linear order on chromosomes. The chromosomes become visible under the microscope as distinct structures during cell division. When cells are not dividing, the chromosomes decondense to loose their individuality and make the mass of chromatin.
Chromatin is complex of DNA and packing proteins. As the cells enter the prophase stage of cell division, condensation of chromatin occurs and individual chromosomes become visible under microscope. Before that (during interphase), chromosomes are not visible as they are present in decondensed form.
