Nikitich [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Mutations can be defined as changes that occur in the genetic material (DNA) of living organisms. These changes are an important source of genetic variability, and are often responsible for the emergence of new species. Changes in genetic material are extremely important, as it is DNA that carries the information necessary for protein synthesis. Some modifications in the genes directly affect the protein to be synthesized, resulting in the appearance of an unexpected characteristic. It is worth noting that mutations in DNA can cause everything from physical changes to behavioral changes. This way, he has to focus on the DNA of the cell.

Compare and contrast the reasons cell division is important for unicellular and multicellular organisms. 2. Provide an example o
Ganezh [65]

(1)

For unicellular organisms, cell division is important for the reproduction of the population, Unicellular organism mainly use cell division, also called binary fission, for pollution growth. This is because unicellular organisms are only composed of one cell.

Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and reproduction. Cell division causes increase in the number of cells composing the organism hence its growth in size. Cell division is also used to create gametes that are used in reproduction by fertilization.

(2)

Even in fully developed organisms, cell division is important in tissue repair. In tissue homeostasis, there is a balanced rate of cell division and cell death .  An example in muscles. Due to the stress experienced by muscle cells, they usually have a lower life span and therefore the damaged cells are often replaced with new ones by cell division. This prevents tissue wastage.

(3)

Growth factors signal the growth of a cell. They usually bind receptors on the cell surface and indicate how the cell should grow and divide base don environmental stimuli. An example is during regular exercises. Growth factors indicate that the muscle cells should divide regularly and grow bigger to accommodate the higher stress in the muscles from the workout. This is how your muscles grow bigger and stronger with more exercise.  

(4)

Differentiation of cells occurs through the silencing of some gene allowing the cell to produce particular proteins (and other biomolecules) that align with its functions in the body. This especially critical in multicellular organisms.  An example is that while al the cells in your body have the same DNA, some cells differentiate into liver cells while others into lungs, stomach, heart, and etcetera.

Can someone help me describe these rocks pls
Anna11 [10]
They are all rock with different size and shapes and are located in different areas possibly in the same areas but they all have there own unique textures from the photographs and 3 of them look like maybe a fossil of some type of when the dinosaurs where still around and the rocks on the top left corner look smooth and are a small type of igneous rocks. That have been soothed over the years.
