A mutation is a rare, accidental or induced modification of genetic information (DNA or RNA sequence) in the genome.
The consequences of a mutation vary according to the part of the genome affected. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is passed on to the next generation.
In multicellular animals, germline mutations can be transmitted to offspring, whereas somatic mutations do.
Somatic mutations do not affect cells intended for reproduction, so they are never hereditary:
* Post-zygotic mutations are the mutations that appear in the egg after fertilization. They are rarer and are expressed as mosaic in the individual concerned (the mutation will be present only in the daughter cells originating from the mutated embryonic cell).
* Mutations can appear throughout life on the DNA of any cell; they are then transmitted to the line of the daughter cells. These can, in some cases, become tumor cells and then form cancer.
Mercury has the smallest orbit and neptune has the largest. so neptune would take a longer amount of time to orbit the sun.
<span>The correct answer for the question is Non-disjunction. Non-disjunction occurs in cell division when chromosomes do not divide properly. It can occur during mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II. In mitosis it occurs when sister chromatids fails to separate in Anaphase. The result is that one cell receives both chromatids, while the other receives neither. Each daughter cell then has an abnormal number of chromosomes when mitosis is complete; one cell has an extra chromosome, while the other is missing one. In anaphase of meiosis I, it happens when a pair of homologous chromosomes does not separate. In meiosis II, it happens when a pair of sister chromatids fails to separate properly during anaphase of meiosis II, one daughter cell will have an extra chromosome and one daughter cell will be missing a chromosome.</span>
Answer:
The Knee Flexor Muscles
Explanation: The Hamstrings All three hamstring muscles originate from the ischial tuberosity and run toward the knee. The biceps femoris muscle is inserted into the head of the fibula. It can rotate the lower leg so that the foot points laterally.
Answer:
cellular respiration...that's breathing out of humans
and through human activities like burning of fossil fuels...
