The types of mutations include: This type of mutation is a change in one DNA base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. A nonsense mutation is also a change in one DNA base pair.
The Earth's core is made up primarily of the metals nickel and iron. The inner core is mostly iron, while the outer core is composed of both nickel and iron.... The Earth's core is made up primarily of the metals nickel and iron. The inner core is mostly iron, while the outer core is composed of both nickel and iron. The inner core is very hot at 9,000 to 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit, however, the iron is not liquid because of the pressure of the Earth pressing in on it.
Heavier elements like iron tend to sink toward the center or core of the earth. Lighter materials, the silicates, oxygen compounds and water have risen to become part of the crust. This action has created distinct layers within the earth and is still in process today. The Inner Earth is composed of three main parts; the crust, the mantle, and the core as shown in the diagram of the earth's interior below: The Crust - silicate rocks, primarily granite and basaltOceanic Crust - mostly basaltContinental Crust - igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
