Answer:

<u>3) Uncontrolled cell division occurred as a result of gene mutations</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Spontaneous modifications within the genome may occur during the process of cell division. When copies of the DNA inside the cell are made, these mutations cause errors; and can include small single nucleotide polymorphisms, and large scale additions or deletions across multiple genes.

Some, like somatic mutations, exist only inside vegetative (body) cells, that cannot be passed onto offspring. This is caused by several factors like

  • UV radiation,
  • chemical mutagens,
  • infective agents

UV radiation damages strands of DNA, by causing dimers to form; here, consecutive nucleotide bases covalently bond instead of those on the complementary strand. This conformational change causes errors in DNA proofreading and repair mechanisms where bases are not well-incorporated into the strand- tumors (clumps of uncontrolled cell growth) may form, resulting in melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

<span>The population dynamics of the Warbler species differ from what's documented by Scott Sillett and colleagues one migration issues. 
The Warbler species are non migratory species, while Scott Sillet and colleagues have been studying migratory species. The Warbler species were even taken to other islands, in some cases, in order to give them the </span>security of additional breeding populations, this because their population dynamics is not a migratory one. The studied species by Scott Sillet and colleagues, on the other hand, have migratory population dynamics: they pass their Summer time in <span>New Hampshire and and their Winter time in Jamaica.</span>
