B: A total of four daughter cells form.
Answer:
A frameshift mutation.
Explanation:
A frameshift mutation is when one adds an extra nucleotide to a series of nucleotides. This will mess up the order of the nucleotide, thus when it forms the codons, and eventually, the amino acids; all of the codons are wrong, thus all of the amino acids are wrong.
In this situation, an extra nucleotide is added to a sequence of DNA, this results in all of the other nucleotides getting pushed over by (1). Thus, all of the nucleotides form the wrong codons and the wrong amino acids. Therefore, a frameshift mutation has occured.
Answer: Gradualism and punctuated equilibrium are two ways in which the evolution of a species can occur. A species can evolve by only one of these, or by both. Scientists think that species with a shorter evolution evolved mostly by punctuated equilibrium, and those with a longer evolution evolved mostly by gradualism.
Explanation:
Answer:
C. could not provide a mechanism for moving continents
Explanation:
Without the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor, scientists could not provide a mechanism for moving continents.
Magnetic reversals are responsible for geological shifts and depend on the distribution of tectonic plates that causes movements of continents.
Asymmetric movement of tectonic plates leads to movement of continents and the degree of asymmetry varies with the same rythm of the magnetic reversal rate.
Hence, discovery of magnetic reversals are important to identify the mechanism for moving continents.
