Why is the rate at which mutations occur rather slow?

Through mutations in DNA, and natural selection of advantageous mutations.

Evolution is incredibly slow because: - Changes can only occur in each successive generation - Helpful mutations occur only rarely - Situations where different adaptations are necessary are rare

This is a characteristic of a chemical reaction: how fast or slow a reaction occur.

Rusting will occur in boiled water but at a very slow rate. This is mainly due to the fact that water which is boiled is said to be de-ionized.

Variations occur due to mutations. There are three factors of mutations which impact the formation of new genotypes. 1) Point Mutations - Very small impact mutation which still might enhance the protection against environment and reproduction. 2) Mutations that alter Gene number and sequence - has major role in evolution as it might help to add new functions. 3) Mutation Rates - In animals and plants mostly very slow, however, prokaryotes due to high rate are able to mutate very fast.

You do some exercises to slow down your pulse rate

Some do. Like, genetic mutations er something.

False, Since all chemical reactions do not occur at the same, There are very slow reactions as well as very fast reactions.However the rate these both reactions is practically not measurable. There are reactions which are with measurable rates, for which we calculate the "Rate of the reaction".

some plants do not grow fast because growth of plants is dependent on the rate of photosynthesis and respiration and these processes occur at relatively slow rate in these plants so....

There is little blood flow to the fatty tissue where the solution is injected. The absorption rate will hence be slow and this will lead to a slow rate of onset.

The term used for a slow heart rate is bradycardia.

Yes. A slow metabolism is one of the koala's adaptations Koalas have a slow metabolic rate which is required for them to digest the eucalyptus leaves on which they feed. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and rather low in nutrition, so the fact that the koala has a slow metabolic rate means it can keep the food within its digestive system for as long as possible in order to maximise the energy that can be extracted from the leaves. This slow metabolic rate also means the koalas sleep for more time each day in order to conserve energy.

There are many drugs which may cause a slow heart rate. Tramadol only causes a slow heart rate if it has been taken excessively, while pregabalin is known to cause only increased heart rate.

You shouldn't be doing drugs and yes, they do slow down your heart rate.

Bradycardia is the medical term meaning abnormally slow heart rate

A sudden decrease in light intensity would eventually slow down the rate of photosynthesis. This process require light to occur.

Slow on ground, but rather fast when climbing trees and such.

Bradycardic means pertaining to bradycardia, an abnormally slow heart rate.

No, they slow heart rate.

One way is to take slow, deep breaths.

That is the correct spelling of the word "slow" (at a low speed or rate).

Slow tempo will decrease your heart rate because it might put you to sleep and that would rest your heart rate.

So that the patient receives the drug at the correct dose rate and total dose. If the dose rate is too fast harm may occur even if total dose is correct. If the dose rate is too slow the response may be inadequate even if total dose is correct.

yes you do, when you run your heart rate speeds up so when u walk and catch your breath, after a period of time you heart rate will slow.

digoxin is a drug that slows heart rate.
