Landslide is a general term referring to all types of surface movement, like avalanches involving the mass movement downhill of soil, rock, or snow under the action of gravity. These can be dangerous to human life.
Mudslides are caused unusually heavy rain or sudden thaw. they consist of mostly mud and water with fragments of rock and other debris. They're capable of moving house off of their foundations and can bury a place within minutes.
The correct answer is Parents pass their physical traits to their offspring; those offspring with traits that help them survive in their environment are able to reproduce.
Explanation:
The modern theory of evolution explains the mechanisms that make organisms change. One of the main ideas this theory proposes is that organisms with traits that help them survive or reproduce have higher chances to pass their genes and traits to new generations. This mechanism makes certain traits to be favored and contributes to the evolution of organisms because after multiple generations certain traits will prevail while others will be eliminated.
Moreover, this theory specifies genes in an organism are not acquired or modified during its life but these are the results of the traits passed to the organism by its parents and evolution occurs only after a long time or multiple generations. According to this, the first option is the correct one.
A universal genetic code allows "the processes of transcription and translation to produce the same proteins in all species."
To say that the genetic code is universal it means that it is read/interpreted in the same exact way in all cells. This is that the same group of three nucleotides, a codon, will always translate into the same amino acid in any cell leading to the formation of the same protein, or at least a protein with same amino acids when first formed.
