Mutation is caused when there is a permanent change to the sequence of a gene. It is normally when their is a fault in cell division.

Answer from: xavierbanks802

Mutation

Explanation:

Mutations are changes in the genetic material of cells that occur in the base sequences of gene DNA, causing changes in their structures. Mutations can be of two types: Gene mutations and chromosomal mutations.

In gene mutations, a portion of the molecule sequences is altered, leading to a change in the synthesized protein. A known example of a gene mutation is sickle cell anemia, characterized by the alteration of red blood cells to make them resemble a sickle.

In chromosomal mutations, changes occur in whole parts of a chromosome (structural chromosome changes) or changes in chromosome number (numeric chromosome changes). An example of chromosomal mutation is Down's syndrome, which affects chromosome 21 (trisomy) causing physical and intellectual complications.

Despite all that, mutations do not exist just to trigger problems, they guarantee the genetic variability of living beings.

Moreover, they are considered an important point for the evolution of species, because it is through them that adaptive characteristics emerge that ensures the natural selection of more adapted species.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.

Astudent completed a lab report. which correctly describes the difference between the “question” and “hypothesis” sections of her report? “question” states what she is asking, and “hypothesis” states the result of her experiment. “question” states what she is asking, and “hypothesis” states what she thinks the answer to that question is in “if . . then . . because” format. “question” describes what she is trying to find out, and "hypothesis" states the procedures and methods of data collection. “question” describes what she is trying to find out, and “hypothesis” states any additional information or prior knowledge about the question.
