Changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.

Answer:

The ways that mutation can affect an organism include:

Changing the physical characteristics of the organism.

It can impact the way that the DNA is able to code the genetic information.

Also, mutation can lead to the death of an organism.

What is mutation?

Mutation simply means a change in the DNA sequence of an organism. It can result from DNA copying mistakes that were made during the cell division.

Mutation can affect an organism as it changes the phenotype of the organism. It can also impact the way that the DNA is able to code the genetic information and lead to the death of an organism.

Term used by geologists for water that soaks into the ground, fills the openings in the soil, and trickles into cracks and space

erastova [34]

GROUNDWATER is the term used for water that soak into the ground, fills the openings in the soil and trickles into cracks and spaces in rock layers.

Groundwater is usually found underneath the earth surface in the spaces and cracks in sand, rock and soil. It is stored in aquifers. Ground water usually connect with various water bodies such as oceans, rivers and streams and it is always a natural source of water for vegetation. Ground water is a very important natural resource.

The density of ice is 920 kg/m3 and that of sea water is 1030 kg/m3 . what fraction of the total volume of an iceberg is exposed

Lyrx [107]

To be floating, the gravity force of the iceberg should be same as the buoyancy force that result from the difference of the ice and water density.
The density of ice is 920 and water is 1030, then the difference should be: 1030kg/m3-920kg/m3= 110kg/m3

Let say that the volume of ice below the water is volume1 and the volume above the water(exposed volume) is volume2.
You can get this equation

volume1+volume2= 100%
volume1= 100%- volume2

Insert it into the buoyancy and gravity force will result
buoyancy=gravity
110kg/m3*volume1= 920kg/m3 *volume2
110kg/m3*(100%- volume2)= 920kg/m3 *volume2
110kg/m3 - 110kg/m3*volume2= 920kg/m3 *volume2
110kg/m3 = 1030kg/m3 *volume2
volume2= 110/1030= 0.1067= 10.7%

How do the alkali metals differ from the alkaline earth metals?

Alik [6]

Answer & Explanation:

The alkali metals are the elements found in the first group of the periodic table.

Alkaline earth metals are found in the second group of the periodic table.

Alkali metals are Lithium (Li), sodium(Na), potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Cesium (Cs) and Francium (Fr).

Alkaline earth metals include; Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba) and Radium (Ra).

Alkali metals are very reactive and none of these metals do not occur as free metals in nature.
Alkaline metals are also do not occur freely in nature and they are also very reactive.

For alkali elements, the densities of Lithium and Sodium are less than the density of water. However, the other elements are denser than water. Many of alkali metal compounds (NaCl, KCl, Na2, CO3, NaOH) are commercially very important.

Alkaline elements in this group are denser than water.
