Answer:

c. Base substitutions and base deletions

Explanation:

A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence (i.e., the genome) of the cells of a particular organism. Mutations may result of 1-substitutions of one of the four nucleotide bases (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine) by other nucleotide bases (for example, when Adenine is replaced by Cytosine), 2-deletions, where one or more bases are removed from the DNA sequence, and 3-insertions, where one or more nucleotide bases are added to the DNA sequence. Insertions and deletions are collectively referred to as 'indels' (insertion/deletion) mutations.

Precipitation _____. drives the water cycle is the change from a solid to a gas happens more frequently than evaporation over la

ipn [44]

Answer: Precipitation occur more frequently than evaporation over land.

Explanation:

Precipitation refers to the water vapour that fall from the atmosphere in form of rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain or hail. It delivers water from the atmosphere to the Earth. Precipitation occur more on the land than evaporation, most water that teaches the surface of the Earth fall back on the land and fill the inland water, rivers , storages,e.t.c.

Evaporation occur frequently in the ocean because it is expose to the sun and most water that is evaporated from the ocean fall back to the ocean as precipitation.

Remember that eutrophication is the natural process by which a body of water gains an abundance of nutrients. Explain the distin

sergeinik [125]

Eutrophication occurs due to the increased concentration of natural nutrients. Conversely, artificial eutrophication happens due to human activities.

<h3>Eutrophication and artificial eutrophication</h3>

Eutrophication is a biological phenomenon that occurs due to the increased concentration of natural nutrients such as algae in a water body.

Artificial eutrophication is a specific type of eutrophication process caused by human activities.

Artificial eutrophication can be caused, for example, for an excessive overload of fertilizers in a lake.

To efficiently provide the ideal amount of nitrogen fertilizer, some farmers make use of a "chlorophyll meter" that measures the

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplast in plants. It absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. It is a chelate molecule. In a chelate molecule a central metal ion forms bonds with a large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen or oxygen.

In chlorophyll, magnesium is the central metal ion and it is bonded to a large organic molecule called as porphyrin. Porphyrin constitutes four nitrogen atoms to which the central magnesium is bonded in square planar arrangement. Since chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of the leaves, more the green color more the chlorophyll content and more is the nitrogen content. Hence, chlorophyll meter measures this green light and finds out if the plant needs more or less nitrogen.
