Answer and Explanation:
Mutation:
It is the sudden variation that occurs in the sequence of our DNA either due to factors related to environment or mistakenly. These are inheritable changes in our genes.
Effects:
a. It results in the ability of an organism to adapt to the environmental variations.
b. It can also cause disorders and diseases in an organism.
c. It results in the evolution of organisms.
d. It also results in the variation in an organisms' phenotype.
d. It helps to carry out scientific research.
Patterns of Inheritance:
The inheritance in mutation only occurs when it is in germ cells which leads to the production of gametes and this mutation is known as germ line mutation.
Data analysis:
As only few cells are effected mostly in mutation it can not be detected.
The answer is microevolution.
Cells of the skin and digestive tract are continuously sloughed off and replaced by new ones due to mitotic division.
Some body parts of animals and plants can be regenerated by mitotic cell division.
Vegetative propagation in plants and budding in some animals also occurs due to mitosis.
The amount of gravitational pull helps determine the gases that can form an atmosphere around a large body in space. So the mass of an object also determines the density of these gases. Note that several factors come into effect for a large object to sustain their gases if present.
