agents that can cause mutations.

-Smoking

-UV lights

-Chemicals


Evolution acts on - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔mutations


point mutation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔gene mutation in which a single base pair in

DNA has been changed


Substitution - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A mutation in which a nucleotide or a codon in

DNA is replaced with a different nucleotide


insertion or deletion - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔adding or subtracting nucleotides


What are the different cells of multicellular organisms? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Body

Cells and Gamete (sex) Cells
