Correct answer: C). Frequent Mutations

A virus is a small infection-causing agent that are known to replicate inside the living organism. They may contain DNA or RNA as genetic material.

They evolve by the changes which caused in their RNA sequence, as they carry RNA as a genetic material which is not stable so they continuously change their shape as a result of frequent mutations in order to infect an organism and escape from the immune system of the body of the host.

Hence, the correct answer would be option C.

Explanation:

The method of reproduction in humans is sexual reproduction: a type of reproduction that occurs when new organisms are produced through the coming together of genetic information from two individuals of different sexes mostly a male and a female (egg cell and the sperm). The genetic information for making the blood cells; the red blood cells genes in particular exists on chromosomes in the nucleus of the sex cells (egg and sperm cell) also called the gametes. Basically, the DNA provides instructions for the production of mostly all of the body's needs.

The genes coding for the sickle cells which is the abnormal red cell is always inherited in the recessive form meaning both parent has to possess one copy each of the defective gene in their DNA. For humans to get one copy of a sickle cell gene and one copy normal gene; it means one of the parents gametes (be it male or female) contributed the defective chromosome and the other normal gene is contributed by the other parent  during copulation giving rise to an individual that is heterozygous for the trait

For example, the sperm cell with the defective gene fertilizes the egg cell that has the normal copy of the gene producing an heterozgous individual.

Bacteria are helpful because they produce oxygen, which our bodies need to breathe, and they help us to digest the food we eat. Bacteria are also helpful because they are used in medicine to help us overcome disease. Bacteria are harmful because they can cause tooth decay and illnesses that can be either common or quite serious.

This is a sample response, so it's 100% correct. Peace!
