Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
