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.

Answer:

The photosynthetic organisms of the water can survive at a depth of 100 meters due to the presence of blue light.

Explanation:

There are two colors which are responsible for the process of photosynthesis. These two colors are red and blue. Red and blue light of solar radiation is absorbed and green light is reflected back by the green pigment called chlorophyll. So in the depth of 100 meters in the water, blue light is present so plants can make their own food during photosynthesis.

Which one to choose ?(please tell me if u have trouble seeing)

Korolek [52]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Beaches are the places which are part of shore of an ocean, sea, large river etc.

There are pebbles and sand at the shore of a beach. Waves of water in an ocean always change the ocean due to erosion and addition of sand.

It is the force acted by the wave that pushes or pull the sand in different directions every time the wave comes.

So we can conclude that the statement beaches are always changes due to factors such as waves adding and eroding sand best describes beaches.

Carbon dioxide concentrations in soil are ________ than (as) in the atmosphere because ________.

Alja [10]

Carbon dioxide concentrations in soil are higher than in the atmosphere because of respiration of the plants, their roots. Also, CO2 is inhigherr concentration because of the decomposition of organic matter. Decomposition of organic matter produce more CO2 because of increased microbial activity. CO2 concentrations can change as a result of temperature change or different soil structure. Composition of air in soil and atmosphere of CO2 is
Soil Air: 0.25% Atmosphere: 0.04%.
