What factors caused the number of horses in cities to increase during the 1800s?
Technology and other means of transportation.
What kind of factors have an odd number of factors?
Square numbers have an odd number of factors.
Why is the set of factors of a number not the same as the factors of that number?
They ARE the same.
Why is the set of factors of a number not the same as the set of proper factors of the number?
The set of factors includes one and the number itself. Proper factors do not include those two.
Will you get the same number of factors if you multiply a prime number and itself?
Prime numbers have two factors. Prime squares have three factors. Square numbers have an odd number of factors but that number varies.
Can mutations increase the variations in a species' traits?
Yes
Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?
The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.
What are to factors that may have led to an increase in the number of whited tailed deer?
Two factors that may have led to an increase in the number of White-tailed Deer are a big food source and less predators.
Mutagenic agents are substances that?
Increase the rate of gene mutations
What are two factors that may have led to an increase in the number of white tailed deer?
Two factors that may have led to an increase in the number of White-tailed Deer are a big food source and less predators.
Are mutations in the DNA sequence gene transient changes?
Successful mutations will persist. Mutations usually occur during replication. Some mutations will flourish depending on environmental factors.
What are two environmental factors that can cause mutations?
Temperature and thunder
Can mutations add information in organisms?
mutations in dna can be advantageous and lead to charecteristics that help a person survive or increase it chances of survival.
How do genetic mutations influence biological diversity?
In most cases mutations increase genetic variation, but only if they propagate to later generations.
Evaluate the significance of mutations and repair of mutations to the evolution of sexual reproduction?
evaluate the significance of mutations and repairof mutations to the evolution of sexual reproduction
What are two methods used by breeders to increase the rate of mutations?
Radiation and chemicals
What are some environmental factors that might result in point mutations?
nuclear exposure. >.<
