Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

kirill [66]

The biodiversity will decrease due to an increase in pollution is the effect will have on the biodiversity on the river ecosystem.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Biodiversity is the actual collection of total amounts of flora and fauna present in a particular ecosystem. The river ecosystem consists of the aquatic plants, the aquatic animals like fishes,etc and even the surrounding land plants and animals, who utilize the river water for their living.

The inclusion of the polluted sewage of the surrounding area into the river directly mixes several chemicals to the water, which are potentially harmful for all the animals living there. This leads to destruction of the flora and fauna of both water and lands surrounding them. This hampers the biodiversity of the water as well as surrounding land.
