Say that when humans move to other planets, none of them will have the same gravity as earth. That means that shorter, more thickset people will be better able to live on a high gravity planet (for obvious reasons.)
If taller, thinner people (like me) went on the same world, we would be uncomfortably pulled down, and if we fell down we would break our thinner bones.
However, if a short, thick-ish person fell over, he would have a tiny distance to fall and, having stronger bones because of the extra weight he was carrying, be better able to absorb the fall.

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.

True or false Mutations can increase the variations in a species 'traits?
Mutations are important for evolution because they provide the variability whereupon natural selection acts.true last answered by zaporia

What are two methods used by breeders to increase the rate of mutations?
Radiation and chemicals
You can improve your fitness without an increase in exercise?
False.
What are the factors that can increase number of mutations?
A mutation is simply an accidental change in your genes or DNA sequence. The types of mutations in biology are:substitution, insertion,delection and frame-shift.
What does a carcinogen form that gives a person cancer?
It doesnt form anything. What it does is increase your chance of getting mutations within your DNA. And if enough mutations are aquired, then cancer can happen.
