Is there and multiple choice options?
Explanation:
Do mutations in body cells contribute to genetic variation?(1 point)
A) No, the causes of body cell mutations are outside the body and cannot alter DNA.
B) Yes, the mutations can be passed on to offspring and contribute to variation in the population.
C) Yes, these body cell mutations lead to mutations in the gametes.
D) No, the mutations cannot be passed to offspring and only affect the individual.
A mutation is the alteration of the genetic sequence of an organism, which can either be inherited or cannot be inherited. The mutation when transmitted to the offspring leads to genetic variation.
The correct answer is:
Option B. Yes, the mutations can be passed on to offspring and contribute to variation in the population.
Mutation is the change in the genetic sequence of the organism, which can be caused due to environmental factors and can be inherited.
The mutations can lead to genetic disorders, chromosomal disorders, or any other conditions. The mutations like a disease or adaptation that can be passed onto the offspring can result in genetic variation.
The mutation leads to genetic diversity, as the mutation is also the first step towards evolution. The organisms better suited to the environment will survive more and adapt more. These changes in the organisms will be inherited by the offspring leading to genetic variation.
Therefore Option B is correct.

What type of succession starts with some soil but then goes through the 10p
steps of succession?
A. Primary Succession
B. Secondary Succession
C. Climax Community
Explanation:
Ecological succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. The time scale can be decades (for example, after a wildfire), or even millions of years after a mass extinction.[1]
Succession after disturbance: a boreal forest one year (left) and two years (right) after a wildfire.
The community begins with relatively few pioneering plants and animals and develops through increasing complexity until it becomes stable or self-perpetuating as a climax community. The "engine" of succession, the cause of ecosystem change, is the impact of established organisms upon their own environments. A consequence of living is the sometimes subtle and sometimes overt alteration of one's own environment.[2]
It is a phenomenon or process by which an ecological community undergoes more or less orderly and predictable changes following a disturbance or the initial colonization of a new habitat. Succession may be initiated either by formation of new, unoccupied habitat, such as from a lava flow or a severe landslide, or by some form of disturbance of a community, such as from a fire, severe windthrow, or logging. Succession that begins in new habitats, uninfluenced by pre-existing communities is called primary succession, whereas succession that follows disruption of a pre-existing community is called secondary succession.
Succession was among the first theories advanced in ecology. Ecological succession was first documented in the Indiana Dunes of Northwest Indiana and remains at the core of much ecological science.[3]

Cellular differentiation progressively restricts cell fate because the unexpressed genes in the cell:Select all that apply become more densely packed with nucleosomes accumulate both point mutations and deletions accumulate point mutations undergo irreversible repression accumulate deletions.
Answer:
undergo irreversible repression
Explanation:
Cellular differentiation refers to the process by which one cell and/or cell population divides and differentiates into more specialized cells. During cell fate differentiation, epigenetic marks modify chromatin structure in order to hamper the accessibility of the transcriptional machinery and transcriptional factors to different genes, which are irreversibly repressed. These epigenetic marks include DNA methylation and histone modifications (e.g., histone acetylation, histone methylation, etc). For example, it has been shown that DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 27 tri‐methylation (H3K27me3) are epigenetic repressive marks on genomic regions that play a major role in gene expression programs during cell fate differentiation.

Think about the meaning of these words fruit seed germinate cotyledons, embryo ,plumule ,dormancy,root hairs. Write a sentence containing each of these words
Answer:
When a seed, taken from a fruit, is planted and watered under the correct temperature, it breaks dormancy, and the embryo germinates; first, the root grows covered by root hairs, then the cotyledons appear, and finally, the plumule elongates to reach the light.
Explanation:
Fruit: It forms by the mature ovary of the flowers. This structure contains and protects the seeds in its interior. Its principal function is to transport seeds to a distant area away from the parental plant and let the new plant emerge under the correct environmental conditions. The fruit develops different strategies to accomplish its function. Seed: Refers to the fecundated and mature ovule. This structure is the typical dissemination and dispersion unit of spermatophyte plants. Seeds are formed of three tissues. An embryo. A seminal tegument that covers and encloses the latent embryo. And the endosperm -a nutritious tissue-. Seeds develop and grow under the protection of the fruit body. Embryo: It is formed after fecundation. It composes of growing cotyledons, an epicotyl, and a hypocotyl. The tegument and endosperm of the seed protect the embryo from dehydration and denutrition. Once the seed is in the correct place, the embryo grows and emerges. Cotyledon: The two first leaves of the embryo. They have reserve nutritive tissues to help the embryo grow. It also performs photosynthesis. The embryo usually develops one or two cotyledons and one radicule or root hair. Plumule: First shoot of the young emerging plant. When the embryo is growing, it elongates to reach more sunlight. Root hairs: Extention of the roots´ cells that look like hairs and whose principal function is to absorb nutrients and water from the ground. They can be found in the maturation area of the root. Germination: Process of development and the emergence of the embryo. These are a series of steps that must occur in the seed from the moment the embryo begins to develop until a newly emerged plantule is formed. For germination to occur, there must be the appropriate environmental conditions. Dormancy: Period in which an alive seed can not germinate because there is a condition inside the seed that does not allow germination to occur yet. The seed is in dormancy, but it keeps viability.How is natural selection similar to selective breeding? How is natural selection different from selective breeding?

How do the organs of the excretory system work together to eliminate potentially harmful wastes from the body?
Answer:
This is the job of the excretory system. You remove waste as a gas (carbon dioxide), as a liquid (urine and sweat), and as a solid. Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. Recall that carbon dioxide travels through the blood and is transferred to the lungs where it is exhaled.

functions of ribosomes and lysosomes
Answer:
Ribosomes are responsible for making proteins
Lysosomes are responsible for removing wastes, as well as destroying a cell after it dies
Answer:
functions of ribosomes and lysosomes :-
ribosomes -
- they are many in number.
-they are not membrane bound.
-they are responsible for protein synthesis. the more the amount of protein synthesised, more the number of ribosomes.
- they are either attached to endoplasmic reticulum or they will be freely present inside the cytoplasm.
lysosomes -
- they contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign material and cellular debris. they are capable of digesting fats,proteins, etc. along with them lysosomes also digest or damage their own cells by their own enzymes, which lead to death of the cells. this process is called as autolysis. hence, tysosomes are also called suicidal bags.

In the jar shown, a sample of various sediment was mixed with water and then mixed with water and then allowed to settle for 24 hours. The jar served as a model for what process
Answer:
Process of sedimentation.
Explanation:
The jar shows us the model of sedimentation process because all the sediments settles down in the jar due to heavy weight. The sediment can't combine chemically with water and these sediments are heavier so due to gravity they comes down and settles down at bottom of the jar, this settlement of sediments in the jar is known as the process of sedimentation.

What percentage of our usable freshwater is already polluted?
Answer:
3% of the earth's water is fresh. 2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost. 0.5% of the earth's water is available fresh water
Explanation:
please give brainliest
Answer:
Water covers about 71% of the earth's surface.
326 million cubic miles of water on the planet
97% of the earth's water is found in the oceans (too salty for drinking, growing crops, and most industrial uses except cooling).
320 million cubic miles of water in the oceans
3% of the earth's water is fresh.
2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost.
0.5% of the earth's water is available fresh water.
If the world's water supply were only 100 liters (26 gallons), our usable water supply of fresh water would be only about 0.003 liter (one-half teaspoon).
In actuality, that amounts to an average of 8.4 million liters (2.2 million gallons) for each person on earth.
This supply is continually collected, purified, and distributed in the natural hydrologic (water) cycle.

Explain how the structure of a plant allows it to obtain and keep water.
Answer:
Most plants absorb water through the roots. Land plants get almost all the water they need from the soil. The amount of water available in the soil varies according to its porosity and its degree of desiccation. A large proportion of water is retained by cohesion forces between the particles. When the water is in the roots it moves inside the plant through the xylem. The xylem is the transport system that carries water to the entire plant.
Explanation:
The xylem connects all parts of the plants (from the roots to the stems and from there to the leaves). The water in the xylem creates a gigantic chain of molecules that adhere to each other, just like they adhere to the xylem. For plants to transport water from roots to leaves and use it in other functions, other structures called stomata are required. Stomata are small pores in leaves that plants can open and close as needed. If they open, the water moves out of the stomata and evaporates into the air. This occurs because the water molecules diffuse, from the humid air inside the leaf, to the much drier air surrounding the leaf. The loss of water through the stomata together with the high cohesion of the water particles and the resistance of the root "stress" the water column. This causes the water potential of the roots to decrease and the surrounding water enters the plant.Each stoma is made up of two occlusive cells. When these cells are turgid, a hole opens between them; when the cells relax, the hole disappears. The turgor pressure depends directly on the inlet or outlet of the water. This movement, in turn, depends on the concentration of solutes within the cell.
