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.

What effect does development, through erecting buildings and concrete pavement, have on the recharge of aquifers and the quality
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Infiltrate rate decreases and also water quality.

Explanation:

There is adverse effect of erecting buildings and concrete pavement on the recharge of aquifers and the quality of the water because the water is unable to infiltrate inside the soil due to concrete floor and the recharging of aquifers is not possible. These buildings and concrete pavements also reduces the quality of water due to degradation of sediments present in the building with the passage of time.
