Answer:
point mutation, change within a gene in which one base pair in the DNA sequence is altered. Point mutations are frequently the result of mistakes made during DNA replication, although modification of DNA, such as through exposure to X-rays or to ultraviolet radiation, also can induce point mutations
Answer:
C. The chance of survival decreases when there is intraspecific competition for resources among surviving yearlings
Explanation:
The survival rate of the offspring of the fish species will decrease as a result of the huge number of eggs produced giving rise to overpopulation. Pressure will be on the limited available resources. As a result of this, Intraspecific competition would occur as members of the same fish species would compete for the limited resources.
Interference and exploitation competition are two types of Intraspecific competition that can reduce the population size of the fish species.
For Interference competition, the dominant and stronger members would secure adequate supply of the limited resources to detriment of the weaker and less dominant ones. This leads to the death of those members that are weak to compete successfully, thereby leading to a reduction in population size.
In exploitation competition, it involves all individual members of the fish species sharing the limited resources equally, while none of them gets an adequate amount. With time, a great size of the population decrease would be noticed when compared to that of Interference competition.
Gunter will be undergoing functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
This technique for brain activity measuring is based on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled. Blood flow increase in an area of the brain that is in use.

Rocky Mountain wood tick, Brown dog tick, Cattle fever tick, Tropical bont ticks, Asian longhorn tick
Explanation:
Answer:
Plant cells deal with osmosis by being enclosed in a cell wall.
Animal cells use active transport systems to deal with the problem of osmosis.
Fresh water protists have contractile vacuoles to deal with osmosis.
Many bacteria have cell wall to protect them from osmosis.
Explanation:
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall. If a plant cell is places in a place where the conditions are hypotonic, then the cell will tale up water by osmosis but the cell wall will prevent it from bursting. This condition is termed as the cell being 'turgid'.
As animal cells do not have the rigid cell wall, they use the mechanism of active transport system to stop the cell from bursting during osmosis. In this process, ions are moved out of the cell so that the pressure in the cell due to osmosis can be reduced.
Fresh water protists have a structure present in them called as the contractile vacuole. The contractile vacuole has the capability to remove any excess water from the cell as well storing water if there is not enough water.
Bacteria have peptidoglycan cell walls to prevent osmosis.
