Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :
Answer: D) All the above Explanation: 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 overb) independent assortment3) reticulation – acquisition of genetic material from unrelated or relatively unrelated sources (e.g., hybrid species, horizontal gene transfer).

Answer : 1. "promise to pay for goods later."
Explanation :
Answer: A) promise to pay for goods later. Explanation: If as a business, you buy goods or services on credit from a supplier (accounts payable) then the supplier will supply the goods and business will incur a liability to the supplier for that amount, but no cash will change hands at that stage. Some of those shop keepers allowed regular "trustworthy" customers to purchase items without having the full payment. Hence, Buying on credit means that no actual money has changed hands.

Answer : 3. "molecules of the dispersion medium colliding with dispersed phase particles"
Explanation :
Answer: C) molecules of the dispersion medium colliding with dispersed phase particles Explanation: When their is a colloid in the solution, then it will show the Brownian movement, such as dust particle in the air will show the Brownian movement. Hence, Brownian movement arises due to the impact of the molecules of the dispersion medium with the colloidal particles. It has been postulated that the impact of the molecules of dispersion medium on the colloidal particles are unequal. This leads to the zig-zag (random) motion of the colloidal particles.
