Describe a DNA mutation and how it can affect an offspring.

Answers

Answer 1
A DNA mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. DNA mutations can affect an offspring can result in abnormal protein products. Mutations can also introduce new alleles into a population of organisms and increase the population's genetic variation.
Answer 2
Since all cells in our body contain DNA, there are lots of places for mutations to occur; however, some mutations cannot be passed on to offspring and do not matter for evolution. Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and won't be passed onto offspring. For example, the golden color on half of this Red Delicious apple was caused by a somatic mutation. Its seeds will not carry the mutation.
The only mutations that matter to large-scale evolution are those that can be passed on to offspring. These occur in reproductive cells like eggs and sperm and are called germ line mutations.

Explanation:

In an experiment, equal amounts of heated water and soil were left to cool down. The initial and final temperatures of each were recorded. A partial record of the temperature is shown.

Experimental Record
Substance Initial Temperature Final Temperature
Water 27 °C 24 °C
Soil 27 °C ?

Which statement about the final temperature of soil is correct?

It will be less than 24 °C as soil loses heat relatively faster than water.

It will be less than 24 °C as water loses heat relatively faster than soil.

It will be more than 24 °C as it takes relatively longer to change soil temperature than water temperature.

how are plant cells and human cells different?
a. human cells need food, but plant cells do not.
b. human cells need energy, but plant cells do not.
c. plant cells make their own food, but human cells do not.
d. plant cells make their own energy, but human cells do not.

Answers

It is c I believe cause the human cells can’t make their own food like plants do when they photosynthesis

Answer:

C- Plant cells make their own food, but human cells do not.

Explanation:

Animal cells must take food in from some other source. Plants, on the other hand, have the ability to make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. In essence, the plant cell uses the energy in sunlight to combine carbon dioxide and water to make molecules of glucose and to release oxygen.

D is wrong because the human body uses three types of molecules to yield the necessary energy to drive ATP synthesis: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Mitochondria are the main site for ATP synthesis in mammals, although some ATP is also synthesized in the cytoplasm.

A is wrong because plant cells obtain energy through a process called photosynthesis. Secondly, that energy is used to break down carbon dioxide and form glucose, the main energy molecule in plants. Plants, algae and some bacteria use photosynthesis to create energy used for growth, maintenance and reproduction.B is wrong because food provides building materials for your body. Your body needs building materials so it can grow and repair itself. Specifically, it needs these materials to produce more cells and its components. Food contains substances that help control body processes.

What is an organ ?

An organ within an organism performs specific tasks to maintain the overall health and function of the organism. To accomplish these tasks, an organ typically requires interaction with other organ systems within the organism.

For example, the digestive system works in tandem with the circulatory system to transport nutrients to the cells, while the respiratory system works with the circulatory system to deliver oxygen to the body. By working together, the different organ systems help to maintain the overall health and function of the organism.

Proxima Centauri and the Sun are both main sequence stars, but Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf and the Sun is a yellow dwarf. Based on the information you charted, compare the characteristics of red dwarf stars and yellow dwarf stars.

Answers

Answer:

Red dwarfs are low-mass main-sequence stars. Yellow dwarfs are main-sequence (dwarf) stars with masses comparable to that of the Sun.

Sun is younger then proxima centauri as it is a red dwarf star whereas sun is a yellow dwarf. We now this as stars need hydrogen to burn and the older they get they get more red.

What are 3 reasons deforestation is an issue for animals?

Answers

Answer:

- Animals live in the trees

- Animals eat off of tree

-Animals breed in trees

Explanation:

Answer:

1. They have less territory

2. With less space, populations decline.

3. Some animals need trees to survive.

Explanation:

1. Some animals, like wolves, have huge territories that span over miles of land. Deforestation would cause predators to fight over who gets the remaining space.

2. Populations cant thrive if theres no where to have offspring.

3. Animals depend on trees for shelter and food. If there are no more trees, primary and secondary consumers would suffer.

Compare the structures for genetics with every day objects. Must include the words: genes, DNA, chromosomes, and nucleus.

Answers

Answer:

Genes play an important role in determining physical traits — how we look —and lots of other stuff about us. They carry information that makes you who you are and what you look like: curly or straight hair, long or short legs, even how you might smile or laugh. Many of these things are passed from one generation to the next in a family by genes. Most cells have one nucleus. The nucleus is a small egg-shaped structure inside the cell which acts like the brain of the cell. It tells every part of the cell what to do. It contains our chromosomes and genes. Chromosomes come in matching sets of pairs and there are hundreds (sometimes thousands) of genes in just one chromosome. The chromosomes and genes are made of DNA.
