Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.

Gamete mutations:
Gametic mutations are the mutations that occur in germline cells (sperm and egg). Due to this, the mutations are able to be passed on from one generation to another. One of the most famous gametic mutations<span> is hemophilia.

Recombination:
Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.

A zebra mussel is discovered in a lake in Pennsylvania for the first time. Why would this make an ecologist worried?
Anna71 [15]

If a zebra mussel is discovered in a lake in Pennsylvania, then the ecologist would be worried because it is an invasive species. The zebra mussel is native to Ukraine and Russia, but if it has been found in Pennsylvania, than it means that it has been introduced in this area. As an invasive species, the zebra mussel can be very dangerous for the native species in the lake. The invasive species usually are more competitive for food sources than the native species, manage to reproduce quicker, bring in diseases, and the native species tend to not have defense mechanisms for them. This leads to rapid decline or even extinction in the native species, while the invasive spreads out quickly and takes over, resulting in dramatic change in the whole ecosystem.
