Answer: Structural chromosomal mutation
Explanation: In translocation, a small piece of chromosome is detached from one chromosome and is attached to another non-homologous chromosome. Translocation can be simple, shift or reciprocal.
Simple translocation involves single break in the chromosome. The broken piece gets attached to the end of the non-homologous chromosome.
In Shift translocation, the broken segment of one chromosome gets inserted interstitially in a non-homologous chromosome.
Segment from one chromosome is exchanged with a segment from another non-homologous chromosome simultaneously in Reciprocal translocation.
Answer:
Dragon
Explanation:
Draco's name comes from the Latin for the dragon, and Draco is also another constellation named by astronomer Ptolemy.
seeks to help communities mitigate and adapt to climate change, as well as improve food security.
Answer: The correct answer is-
an agent that causes a mutation in DNA.
Mutagen is an agent or a substance that causes permanent change in the genetic material of living organisms ( DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid). This process is called mutation.
A mutagen can be a chemical, physical or biological agent that causes mutation in the DNA.
Example- Physical agents such as -
- Ionizing radiations like alpha particles, gamma rays, X-rays that brings break in the DNA and cause other damages.
- Ultraviolet radiations that creates pyrimidine dimers ( T=T) and causes replication errors if damage is not repaired.
Answer:
a) Teeth arose from the rough scales of ancestral sharks.
b) Skeletal developments leading to the amphibian movement onto land probably evolved from lobe-finned fishes.
d) The anterior gill arch formed the basis for the evolution of the vertebrate jaw.
Explanation:
The animals we know today have physical characteristics that are evolutionary adaptations of characteristics of their ancestors, which have undergone a series of evolutions and modifications over the years giving rise to new species that have resulted in the species we know today. This process of evolutions and adaptations also happened with the ancestral species of fish, which allowed that today, they had characteristics such as teeth and jaws. Many of these evolutions occurred even in different species, such as the evolution that allowed the amphibians to have a skeleton, which evolved from the spine fins of fish.
