9.

What does mutation do and how does it benefit us?

a)

A change in a gene (DNA), results in a mutation. There are beneficial mutations that help an organism (think about a white fur gene for a rabbit living in the arctic).

The days that one of the Earth’s poles is most tilted away from the sun are called SOLSTICES.
