The feature formed due to a glacier's movement and its effect on rock is
</span>A. Roche Moutonnees

Explanation
:
 Rôche moutonnée (or sheepback) is a geological structure shaped by the movement of an ice mass. The movement of the ice over the bedrock typically results in varying erosion patterns due to abrasion on the "stoss" side (upstream) of the rock and plucking on the "lee" side.<span> A terminal ground<span> </span>is also known as final ground<span>, and it is a form of ground<span> that emerges at the edge (snout) of an </span>ice mass<span>, marking the region of its </span>farthest reach.</span> Currently, it consists of debris<span> that has been gathered through plucking and abrasion.

Which characteristic of the genetic code lowers the likelihood of mutation?
Tresset [2298]
Degeneracy

Degeneracy indicates that several codons can encode for the same amino acid during the process of protein synthesis from DNA. A codon comprises a triplet of <span>nucleotides that represents a specific amino acid.

This redundancy means that mutations (like point mutations) are less likely to disrupt the synthesis of proteins. For instance, if the codon sequence GAA, which represents glutamate, changes to GAG, glutamate will still be produced as the code is degenerate. </span>
