Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

E) a natural mutagen.

Explanation:

Aflatoxin is a toxin byproduct produced by the fungi especially Aspergillus molds which grows attached to the roots of various crops like the peanuts, wheat and many others.

The aflatoxin is considered a carcinogen and a mutagen as it causes certain changes in the structure of DNA.  The aflatoxin mainly affects the liver and causes a mutation in the genes of the liver and since the aflatoxin is produced naturally by the molds, therefore, is considered a natural mutagen.

Thus, option-E is correct.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Nucleic Acids

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and they are the molecules responsible for containing the genetic material of all living beings. Thus, DNA and RNA are the molecules responsible for establishing the variability and different characteristics between dog breeds, through the genetic information that each of them houses.

In this case, among the options given in the question above, we can confirm that if Allen has studied the genetic material of dogs to better understand why there are so many different breeds, he must have studied nucleic acids.
