Biology
1 answer:

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.

Whar aspects of these species wings show homology homoplasy?
professor190 [17]
<span>Birds and dinosaurs show homology because they are closely related, such as pigeon and tendon. They have different types of wings, but birds have evolved from dinosaurs.

Soon after the island of hawaii rose above the sea surface (somewhat less than one million years ago), the evolution of life on
MrRa [10]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>A) genetic bottleneck. 
B) sexual selection. 
C) habitat differentiation. 
D) founder effect.
</span>
The correct answer is founder effect. The definition of founder effect is the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established in a small number of individuals from a larger population. The larger population in the context is the ecosystem in Hawaii before it rose from the sea surface. After it rose above the sea surface, most organisms will not be able to survive in land but there will be a small population that can evolve from there.

What is the main cause of an aurora
Phoenix [80]

When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they causeelectrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights

Help me solve for 9 pleaseeee
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) the rate of photosynthesis increases and then levels off.</em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be described as the process by which plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and water by using light energy from the Sun. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of this reaction.

As we increase the intensity of light, the rate of photosynthesis also increases. But after a certain time, the reaction rate will level off as there might be enough food produced or the light energy might have caused the temperature to rise which would have caused the enzymes to get denatured.
