Answer:

discovery in 2008 where researchers found the ACTN3 gene known as the super sprinter gene that controls fast twitch muscle fibers in sprinters. this gene is apparent in a lot of sprinters, and we know it is a mutation because about 18% of people today actually have 2 defective ones, thus not having the ACTN3 gene at all.

There's this other famous one where this gene low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5, or LRP5 causes extra bone density. usually when LRP5 is inhibited or impaired, this causes osteoporosis, but when it is mutated a different way, it can cause increased bone density. a bunch of generations of a family had never broken a bone in their life because of this. cool stuff.

There's also this trait originating from Africa that people with the sickle cell anemia, no matter if it is active or not, have some resistance towards malaria, good mutataion.

kirill [66]

The biodiversity will decrease due to an increase in pollution is the effect will have on the biodiversity on the river ecosystem.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Biodiversity is the actual collection of total amounts of flora and fauna present in a particular ecosystem. The river ecosystem consists of the aquatic plants, the aquatic animals like fishes,etc and even the surrounding land plants and animals, who utilize the river water for their living.

The inclusion of the polluted sewage of the surrounding area into the river directly mixes several chemicals to the water, which are potentially harmful for all the animals living there. This leads to destruction of the flora and fauna of both water and lands surrounding them. This hampers the biodiversity of the water as well as surrounding land.

Elenna [48]
The factor that would least affect photosynthesis is Nitrates in the soil.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plant make their own food by utilizing energy from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. The limiting factors that affect photosynthesis are the light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and water. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesize very quickly, even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide.
