Soil erosion is defined as the wearing away of topsoil. Topsoil is the top layer of soil and is the most fertile because it contains the most organic, nutrient-rich materials. Therefore, this is the layer that farmers want to protect for growing their crops and ranchers want to protect for growing grasses for their cattle to graze on.

How is the shape of an enzyme related to its function?
erastova [34]
Function of an enzyme is to lower reaction's activation energy and to increase speed of a reaction, but to make it happen, enzyme and substrate must fit spatially.

Mutation is defined as the alteration in the genetic makeup of a living organism which may occur due to the following:

  • When there is spontaneous break down of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
  • Change in a single nucleotide of the DNA.
  • when there is additions or deletions of nucleotide in a DNA strand.

A change can be noticed in an animal such as Chimpanzee when the following occurs:

Mutations in chimpanzee DNA: This can alter both that anatomy and the physiological features of the organism involved.
