transmutation is the change in a nucleus due to the change in the number of protons?

Question

true or false

Answer 1

Transmutation is the conversion of one object into another. Transmutation of chemical elements occurs through nuclear reactions. This is called nuclear transmutation. Natural transmutation is when radioactive elements spontaneously decay over a long period of time and transform into other more stable elements. Artificial transmutation occurs in machinery that has enough energy to cause changes in nuclear structure of the elements. The machines that can cause artificial transmutation include the particle accelerator and tokamak reactor.

Transmutation of species is the altering of one species into another. Transmutation can occur via degeneration (i.e., migration and changes in climate). Modern evolutionary theory accounts for this using evolutionary processes, however before the establishment of modern evolutionary biology, it was recognised by some that species changed
