Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.

All scientists uses Statistics for analysing data.

Random mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variation. Mutations are likely to be rare and most mutations are neutral or deleterious, but in some instances, the new alleles can be favored by natural selection. Polyploidy is an example of chromosomal mutation.

Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect.

1) mutation - an alteration in DNA sequence, various types

2) intragenic recombination - results in entirely new associations of genes not present in either parental genome.

Two forms of intragenic recombination:

a) crossing over
b) independent assortment
3) reticulation – acquisition of genetic material from unrelated or relatively unrelated sources (e.g., hybrid species, horizontal gene transfer).

The given series is 1000, 1012, 988, 1024, 978

1000

1000 + 12 = 1012

1012 - 24 = 988

988 + 36 = 1024

1024 - 48 = 976 (Not 978)

The stratosphere layer of the atmosphere is very dry.

A:B = 200 : 169
A:C = 200 : 182
 CB = CA×AB 

182200×200169

=> 182:169

When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 m
When C covers 350 m , B Covers 169182×350
=> 325 m

So C beats B by (350 - 325) = 25 m.
