Every organism has a unique ecosystem in which it lives. This ecosystem is its natural habitat. This is where the basic needs of the organism to survive are met: food, water, shelter and a place to breed. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive. Animals and plants with adaptations that make them better suited for the environment will survive and reproduce better than those less suited for the environment. What adaptations are beneficial in the taiga or boreal ecosystem, marked B on the map? Select ALL that apply

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to a guanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. the mutation could occur in any region of a gene. the effect of the mutation on the phenotype of the offspring will be determined by where the mutation occurs and its effect on the final gene product. in which of the following scenarios could the mutation alter the phenotype of the offspring? select all of the scenarios that apply the mutation occurs in the promoter and affects the rate of gene transcription. the mutation results in a new, dominant allele the mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing the mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development. the mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein e mutation occurs in a codon, and the amino acid sequence of the final protein is unchanged.
