Answer:

By the same token, any random change in a gene's DNA is likely to result in a protein that does not function normally or may not function at all. Such mutations are likely to be harmful. Harmful mutations may cause genetic disorders or cancer. A genetic disorder is a disease caused by a mutation in one or a few genes

Answer: Mutation can lead to cancer and other genetic diseases.

Explanation: Mutation is a permanent change in a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) nucleotide sequence. DNA can be mutated by substitution/replacement of one or more base pairs, insertion/addition or deletion of one or more base pairs. When the mutation is not repaired by the DNA repair system, it can be transmitted to a younger generation. Mutation caused by base substitution can be silent if it affects nonessential DNA, while other mutations can be deleterious. Mutation can be missense if the base substitution produces a codon that codes a different amino acid and leads to the synthesis of a different polypeptide chain.

A base substitution can be nonsense if it results in a termination codon that stops the process of translation. Sickle cell disease results from a single base substitution whereby valine replaces glutamate at the sixth position of the beta globin chain.

Deletion of a base pair can result in alteration of the translational frame thereby producing a nonfunctional protein.

What types of organisms will be affected by a decreased supply of water in an ecosystem?

B, for sure. Producers, Like grass and Flowers need water to make food. Consumers, like Cats, Snakes and Boars need water to drink so our internal systems will function properly. 
Im not sure if decomposers need water, but if there is less water then more animals die and they get food. so, not sure about that one.

The cycle of the moon’s phases is predictable. About how long does it take to cycle from a first quarter moon to a full moon?
rodikova [14]
Answer: C

Explanation: The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days.
