Correct Answer: Submarine
Correct Answer: Morris W. Travers and William Ramsay
Correct Answer: Velocity
Correct Answer: denser to rarer medium and it occurs with no loss of intensity
Explanation:
According to wave theories, for Total internal reflection tohappen: Light must travel from denser medium to rarer medium. Angle of incidence should be greater than critical angle. As in case of TIR, the image is perfectly clear, it implies that there has been no loss of intensity.
Correct Answer: Not one's choice or preference
Correct Answer: All the above
Explanation:
Random mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variation. Mutations are likely to be rare and most mutations are neutral or deleterious, but in some instances, the new alleles can be favored by natural selection. Polyploidy is an example of chromosomal mutation.
Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect.
1) mutation - an alteration in DNA sequence, various types
2) intragenic recombination - results in entirely new associations of genes not present in either parental genome.
Two forms of intragenic recombination:
a) crossing over
b) independent assortment
3) reticulation ? acquisition of genetic material from unrelated or relatively unrelated sources (e.g., hybrid species, horizontal gene transfer).
