Answer:

A is false

Explanation:

Mutation is a change that occurs in the DNA nucleotide sequence either due to mistakes when DNA is copied during cell division or as a result of environmental factors e.g. UV radiation.

Since all the cells of an organism contains DNA, there are lots of places mutation can occur. However, some mutations are not passed from parents to offsprings and do not matter for evolution. This form of mutation is called Somatic or acquired mutation and it occurs in non-reproductive cells. Hence, won't be passed down from parents to offsprings. This form of mutation majorly occurs when DNA cells get replicated during mitosis or when the cell is exposed to harsh environmental factors that damages DNA strands e.g Ultraviolet radiation.

Mutations are only hereditary i.e can be passed down from parents to offsprings, if they occur in reproductive cells (sperms and eggs). This kind of mutation is called Germ-line mutation.

According to the question, mutations must not always occur in the parents before an offsprings DNA undergoes mutation.

Different between Apicomplexa and rhizopoda​
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The Apicomplexa (also called Apicomplexia) are a large phylum of parasitic alveolates. Most of them possess a unique form of organelle that comprises a type of plastid called an apicoplast, and an apical complex structure. The organelle is an adaptation that the apicomplexan applies in penetration of a host cell.

Rhizopoda are a broad group of protozoan amoeboid organisms placed in the kingdom Protista. They include the naked and testate amoebae, some members of the slime moulds and foraminifera. The latter are almost exclusively marine organisms, either benthic or planktonic.
