The nucleus is considered the command center of the cell due to the fact that it contains most of the genetic material that carries the cells instructions for the cells operations.

Answer:
A. gene structure changes ---> protein structure changes ----> protein function changes ----> observable trait changes
Explanation:
The gene structure changes before the protein structure, enabling it to building a new structure and therefore, the previous protein functions have a different function afterwards. Then, the observable traits will be affected and modified according to the new structure.
1. Answer: A
Explanation: For a cell to form proteins, the specific types of proteins are coded for by the genes in DNA (found in the chromosomes of the nucleus). To produce proteins, the genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase to form messenger-RNA. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell.
2. Answer: B
Explanation: Translation of genes into proteins is dependent on the sequence of nucleotides. They are translated in sequences of 3 nucleotides known as codons. Therefore adding a nucleotide on a piece of DNA causes what is referred to as a frame-shift mutation. The 3 sequences (of codons) is interrupted and shifted by one nucleotide. Therefore, the codons change and the amino acids translated will also change.
3. Answer: A
Expanation: Producers are significant in a food chain because they incorporate the energy of the sun into the food chain. This is why they are at the base of the food chain and have the largest biomass. They are consumed by primary consumers which are consumed by secondary consumers which are consumed by tertiary consumers and so on.
4. Answer: D
Explanation: Plants are consumed by herbivores. Therefore, a decrease in plant population due to drought was resulted to decrease in herbivore population. This is due to stiff competition by the herbivores for the scarce plant population. Carnivores consume herbivores. Due to a decrease in the herbivore population, then the carnivore population would also decrease.
5. Answer: A
Explanation: Burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas traps infrared wavelength of lights hence warming up the atmosphere, causing global warming. Reduction in use of fossil fuels will hence alleviate an increase in global temperature hence protect coral in the oceans from bleaching.
The correct term to fill in the blank would be pancreas. It is the pancreas that is the primary site for non essential amino acid production in humans. It can be found in the abdomen. There are two functions that the pancreas do. First, it aids in the digestion, an exocrine function. Second, it helps in the regulation of substances inside the body, an endocrine function.
