How did scientists produce oil eating bacteria?
Inducing mutations in bacteria
Is it true that only mutations in gametes can be passed from parent to offspring?
Gametic mutations occur in the cells of the gonads (which produce sperm and eggs) and may be inherited. There are two types of mutations that can occur in gamete cells: 1. Gene Mutations 2. Chromosomal Mutations
Why do mutations in gene affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
Two that produce the most energy?
The organisms that produce the most energy are plants. These organisms are autotrophs which means they can produce their own energy from the Sun.
Which of these statements represents a common misconception regarding point mutations?
mutations increase variety in a population. (apex)

Why do breeders sometimes induce mutations in the organisms they are working with?
It is so called artificial selection and there is no inducing necessary. Only to find some different features and allow to have descendants to their bearers.
Why are mutation beneficial to the process of evolution?
Scientists have shown that beneficial mutations do occur to produce brand new alleles(variants of genes) that improve an organism's chances of survival in a particular environment
Why does evolution generally occure faster in organisms that sexually?
Increased mixing of genetic material occurs during sexual reproduction which, in turn, increases the chance that successful genetic mutations in individuals will be passed on to offspring. Further, individuals with different successful mutations can mate and produce offspring that carry both traits. If the traits are dominant they will be immediately beneficial...if recessive they will begin to occur in the F2 and beyond offspring.
Is it easy for breeders to produce mutants with desirable mutations?
With luck and perseverance, however, breeders can produce a few mutants-individuance with mutations-with desirable characteristics that are not found in the original population.
What kind of flowers usually produce allergy-inducing pollen?
Sunflowers usually produce the most pollen. More than other flowers.

What techniques do scientists use to produce mutant plants?
Polyploid may instantly produce new species of plantsthat are often strongerthan rhier diploidrelatives
What group of similar organisms can produce offspring?
a group of similar organisms can produce offspring
What do organisms produce?
hydogen peroxid
