Answer:

The correct answer will be : would lead to permanent mutation in DNA and cause cancer.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a complex process to make exact copy of the DNA.

Errors which occur during the process of replication caused by mis-pairing of base pair or by addition or deletion of nucleotides can become permanent mutations after the next cell division as DNA replication takes place during S-phase of cell division and once established cell no longer recognize them as error. These accumulated permanent errors or mutation can produce tumors causing cancer in organisms.

Translation is a process involved in the synthesis of proteins from intermediate mRNA within cell which is a functional part of gene expression not cell division.

Thus, would lead to permanent mutation in DNA and cause cancer is the correct answer.

An error in transcription/translation affects only one cell.

An error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells.

What evidence supports the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Taking into account photosynthesis, the evidence that best supports the law of energy conservation is energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and becomes chemical energy during photosynthesis (option 2).

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophic organisms, characterized by synthesizing their own nutrients by converting solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

During the process of photosynthesis, chloroplasts are capable of absorbing solar energy and converting it into glucose. This process involves the conversion of one type of energy into another.

With respect to the law of conservation of energy, it is necessary to consider:

In the universe there is a constant amount of matter and energy, which is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed.
Energy in an isolated system does not vary, unless it comes into contact with another system.
The amount of energy that is absorbed and obtained is equivalent.

In photosynthesis, the chloroplast is not an isolated system, but has contact with the outside and is capable of absorbing the energy of the sun. This energy will be used to obtain a product, glucose, in an amount proportional to the amount of energy absorbed.

Regarding other options:

1. In photosynthesis, it is not mechanical energy that is transformed into chemical energy.

3. Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis, during the process of chemical energy synthesis, from the combination of carbon dioxide, water and solar energy.

4. It is true that the sun gives off light energy that is absorbed by plants, but it does not explain how this energy is transformed into chemical energy.
