Explanation:
Mutations increase variation within a population.
During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:
- somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
- hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.
Further Explanation:
During reproduction other events, such as crossing over during mitosis and meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.
Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism.Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Red and white show incomplete dominance
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.
Hope this helps! I'm happy to help with any other questions you might have :)
Hydrophobic is when it cannot dissolve in water and hydrophilic is when it can. an example is a phospholipid in the cell membrane- the the tails are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic.
Explanation: Survivorship curves fit three types. A Type I curve shows a low death rate in early and middle life but the death rate increases steeply in old age. A Type II curve shows a death rate is more constant throughout the lifetime of the species.
Although nitrogen gas makes up 78% of the atmosphere, we can't use it because nitrogen atoms must be broken apart first before. This nitrogen is very much packed and bonded with its atoms and would be useless to use since it can't be used for plants.
