The right answer is C. sex cells.

Like all cells, a somatic cell can mutate.

* A somatic mutation, if it is "viable" (if it does not kill the cell, organ or organism that carries it), and if it is not controlled by the body (apoptosis, confinement of the mutated cell) can give rise to new identical cell lines, thus carrying the same mutation.

* In so-called evolved animals (which can not clone naturally), this mutation affects only the organ or the organism concerned, but will not be transmitted to the offspring of the individual.

Answer:

The correct answer is - c. Larger claws would help the crab crack open the shells of the mussels so the crab can eat them.

Explanation:

The graph (attached) states that the two variables size of claws of the crabs depends on the thickness of the shell of mussels. With the increase in the thickness of the shell of the mussels the size of the claws of crabs also increases and becomes larger.

Question in link below.
bezimeni [28]

The correct answer is - They supply the energy needed for living processes.

Both the carbon and the nitrogen, are gases that are crucial for the survival of the organisms on the planet. They are mostly used by the producers in the ecosystems, as they need them to manage to perform their cycles, get nutrition, and of course energy. The producers are the basis of the ecosystems, so if they do not have a healthy supply of carbon and nitrogen, the ecosystems on the whole planet will collapse. The carbon and the nitrogen later go from one organism to another as the energy is transferred, and usually end up back into the atmosphere again.
