As the building blocks of proteins , amino acids are linked to almost every life process, but they also have key roles as precursor compounds in many physiological processes.
Explanation:
Mutations on DNA create genetic variation and diversity on which natural selection acts upon. Mutation can be advantageous, disadvantageous or neutral. Those mutations that confer advantage are preserved in the population while those that are DISadvantageous are weeded out. This occurs because advantageous traits that give a particular advantage to individuals in the environment, however slightest, give them an increased chance of survival and passing their genes to subsequent generations.
An example is mutation that causes sickle cell-shaped blood cells. Individuals with sickle cell blood are less likely to contract malaria. Therefore in an environment where malaria is endemic, the population will have a higher allele frequency for sickle cell alleles that populations in non-endemic areas.

The average speed of the blocks are 0.36 m/s.
Explanation:
Average speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered per unit time. So if it is said that blocks are pulled to 0.9 m in the right side. This means the blocks cover a distance of 0.9 m from the origin and that distance is covered in 2.5 s. Thus, the average speed can be calculated from the change in speed with respect to time. As at time t = 0 , the speed is also zero, and at time t = 2.5 s , the speed will be
Since, in this case, the speed is equal to the average speed of blocks. So the average speed of the blocks will be 0.36 m/s.
20. Answer is "it reflects sunlight".<span>
<span>The moon is </span>not a star<span> <span>as sun.
Hence, </span></span>moon can't produce light by itself<span>. The only reason that we can see the moon is </span>it reflects the sunlight<span>. According to the distance from the
sun to the moon, the light reflection can be varied.</span>
21. Answer is "Jupiter".
Asteroid
belt<span> <span>is
a </span></span>region which is located between
Mars and Jupiter and consists of asteroids and minor planets.<span> This asteroid belt has the </span>4%<span> <span>as the
mass </span>of our moon. Due to the </span>Jupiter's strong gravity<span>, it is </span>prevented a forming of new planet by this asteroid belt.
22.<span> Answer is "</span>they are equal".
The period of
revolution is
the time which is taken by a
mass to go completely one round around another mass. For moon, the period of revolution is 27 days.<span>
The period of
rotation</span> is
the time taken by a mass to complete
one round around its own axis. It is about 27 days for moon.
</span>23.<span> Answer is "</span>The moon is in Earth's shadow".
<span>Lunar eclipse happens when </span>Sun, Earth and moon are directly
aligned each other <span>and Earth is located in between the Sun and the
moon. </span>Then the moon is covered by the
Earth's shadow.
24.<span> Answer is "</span>In a solar eclipse, it is Earth that is caught in the umbra
of the moon. In a lunar eclipse, it is the moon that is caught in the umbra of
Earth".
In total lunar eclipse, Earth is located
between Sun and the moon and
they are directly aligned to each other. The moon is totally covered with the Earth's
shadow.
Total solar eclipse can be seen when the
moon is located between sun and Earth by completely covering the sun.
25. According
to the given choices, we can get "Apollo"<span> as the answer.
Apollo 8 is the first
manned mission to the moon. From
that there were several manned mission including <span>first
manned landing on the moon. The Apollo program was conducted by USA.</span> </span>
