Explanation:

Question 29 (Effect of artificial selection)
Brief Explanations

Artificial selection is when humans select organisms with desired traits for breeding. It leads to rapid, extreme trait changes in domesticated populations (e.g., dog breeds). Option a is wrong (not environmental pressures). Option c is wrong (not random). Option d is wrong (it affects genetic diversity by focusing on specific traits). So b is correct.

Brief Explanations
  • Substitution mutation: one nucleotide is replaced by another.
  • Deletion: nucleotides are removed.
  • Frameshift (insertion/deletion) shifts the reading frame.
  • Insertion: nucleotides are added. So the answer is substitution (option c, assuming option c is Substitution mutation).
Brief Explanations
  • Cell membrane (plasma membrane) is selectively permeable, regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
  • Nucleus: stores DNA.
  • Golgi: modifies/packages proteins.
  • Mitochondria: energy production. So d (Cell membrane) is correct.

Answer:

b. It can produce rapid and extreme changes in traits within populations
