Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial.

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)

Deoxyribose Glucose Guanine Phosphate Ribose

Sergeu [11.5K]

There is no attached table, so it could not be told precisely which of the four molecules is the DNA. But, it is known that DNA consists of deoxyribose, guanine, and phosphate.
The base unit of DNA is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide consists of a nucleobase (adenine - A, thymine - T, cytosine - C, and guanine -G), a monosaccharide deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. By knowing this, it is easy to choose which molecule of those is the DNA.

kirill115 [55]

These are organelles.
An organelle is the part of a cell that has a specific purpose in a cell. The structure of the cell is made up of many different organelles. The chloroplast consists of chlorophyll and the cell wall. The chloroplast helps with photosynthesis. Animal cells do not contain chlorophyll as they do not need photosynthesis to generate energy. A plant is unable to turn the sun's rays into a food source without photosynthesis.
