A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can be either beneficial or harmful. 1) B, false.

<h3>What is a mutation?</h3>

A mutation is a stable and hereditably change in the genetic material that introduces new variants.

These changes are unpredictable, and occur due to the action of mutagenic agents that alter DNI sequences.

Different mutagenic agents cause changes in genetic information, increasing mutations over the normal level.

Mutagenic agents cause changes in the base sequences and pairing.

Many of these mutations are eliminated, but some might succeed and be incorporated into each individual, getting to even affect the entire species.

These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.

Mutations depend on environmental conditions and ecological pressures, and accumulate in time. Mutations can be damaging or beneficial to the organism and might be inheritable or not.

Those favored by natural selection are inherited by the following generations and get to spread.

The statement is False, Option B.

LiRa [457]
The lock an key analogy is used because each enzyme has specific substrates that fit into it. This is like how locks only work with a specific key. The enzyme is the lock and the substrates are the key.
2
This analogy is not perfect because there are often multiple substrates for each enzyme reaction. It only takes one key to turn the lock. The reaction is also taking place between the substrates themselves and not the enzyme. In the lock and key analogy, the lock is affected by the key, but in an enzyme reaction, the substrates are affected by the enzyme.
