All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of beneficial DNA mutations.
Beneficial genetic (DNA) mutations are result in individuals with special characteristics that allow them to survive better in the environment so they pass their genes to the next generation.
Here's a fictional example I made just for you!: Lets say you have an alien species called Hibas. They are jelly blobs that float around, don't move, and open their mouths to capture neon shrimps that happen to swim into their mouths. But one day a certain Hiba developed some muscles through a genetic mutation. It was able to "wiggle" through the water and steer itself instead of floating around. This allowed it to eat more neon shrimp than the other Hibas, so it grew faster and was able to reproduce faster. It's kids also had muscles and had an advantage so they reproduced faster then the other Hibas. Eventually the whole Hiba species started to have muscles because the ones that didn't weren't able to compete and did not survive as well.
The reason that most of the Hibas developed muscles was because one of them had a mutation that allowed it to have muscles. This was a BENEFICIAL mutation that allowed it to SURVIVE BETTER.
Yes, it is possible to develop effective vaccines for any type of viruses. Genetically engineered viruses exhibit similar characteristics to natural viruses.
<h3>What is a virus?</h3>
A virus is a genetically independent entity that needs a suitable host to reproduce its genetic material (either DNA or RNA).
A genetically engineered virus is a virus whose genetic material has been modified using genetic engineering techniques.
Vaccines can be developed for removing any type of viruses because they take advantage of the intrinsic properties of the immune system (i.e., antigen recognition), independently of its origin.

Its B cuz the definition is <span>one of two or more alternative forms of a gene.

Answer: Hey again!
Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Elemental form of carbon means the pure form of carbon, that is, carbon is present in its natural form.
An elemental form also means that the pure atoms are not attached to any other atom.
For example, diamond is an allotrope of carbon in which there are only carbon atoms attached to each other and no other atom is present in it.
Whereas methane has carbon and hydrogen atoms attached to each other therefore, it is not an elemental carbon. And proteins include different atoms attached to each other.
Thus, we can conclude that diamond is an example of elemental carbon.

A light-year is how astronomers measure distance in space, hope this helps ^^
