Answer choices:

  • A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
  • A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell

Answers:

A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell

Explanation:

Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.

Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.

Jobisdone [24]
  • <u>Adaptations </u><u>are unique characteristics that allow animals to survive in their environment.</u>
  • <u> There are </u><u>three </u><u>types of adaptations: </u><u>structural</u><u>, </u><u>physiological</u><u>, and </u><u>behavioral</u><u>. Structural adaptations are how the animal's body functions or looks on the ou</u>tside.

What are 3 ways animals can adapt to their environment?

Animals adapt to their environment in a variety of ways; an animal's color, behavior, defense or diet, for example, may serve adaptive functions.

  • Color and Pattern Adaptations.
  • Behavioral Adaptations.
  • Defensive Adaptations.
  • Dietary Adaptations.

What is an example of an animal adapting to its environment?

  • Adaptation can protect animals from predators or from harsh weather.
  • Many birds can hide in the tall grass and weeds and insects can change their colour to blend into the surroundings.
  • This makes it difficult for predators to seek them out for food.

scoray [572]
<span>The event that a "the first male has had a kidney stone" and b "the second male has had a kidney stone" is true. Random selection is used by the medical researcher in selecting two males from the population. Since simple random sample is defined as a subset of a statistical population wherein each member has an equal probability of being chosen, even if the probability is only 8%, males a and b may really have had a kidney stone.  </span>
