<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
D) Mutations lead to new genes, which may have an advantage over the old forms, causing the species to evolve.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Mutations are sudden, random changes that occur spontaneously in the genetic make up of an organism.</u></em> Mutation are caused by various factors which includes errors in meiosis, and other factors such as chemical mutagens.
- <em><u>Mutations may be beneficial and may play an important role in evolution as they are raw material of genetic variation</u></em>. <em><u>Mutations may lead to genetic variations in the genetic make up of an organism . Therefore mutations are important to mutation since they create new DNA sequences for a given gene and thus resulting to new alleles.</u></em>
Mosses carry out water in short distance. They need water so the spem can fertilize the antherida eggs
Hope this helps!
Heyy.
So i did the alternative activity for this assignment.
In task one I only did part F:
answer:
Weathering damage on Cleopatra's Needle, an Egyptian obelisk in Central Park, New York City, is compared to known weathering rates of granites in various regions. The detrimental influence of the city's environment in 83 years of exposure has been attributed by textbook authors to damage to this coarse-grained foliated granite. As evidenced by the original depth of inscription in New York, about 11/2 inches of maximum surface reduction had occurred. Granite reduction rates in humid regions were calculated to be as low as 0.0076 mm per year, and even lower in deserts. The majority of the damage to the obelisk was caused by rising moisture laden with sulfate salts in Egypt, according to the findings. The hydration pressure of these salts, combined with frost wedging, is responsible for the major damage to the monument, which happened during its first few years in New York.
In task 2 I only did part D
answer:
Two independent sets of observations on sand activities in relation to the flowing river are recorded as the water passes through the meandering river. Stream abrasion can affect the morphology of a stream or river dramatically over time. Because the water can start erosion with anything near it, erosion can impact human communities near rivers.
MAKE SURE YOU SAY THAT YOU DID THE ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITY!!!!
