Answer:

Option D, Number of limbs

Explanation:

Options for the question

a. Birth weight

b. Hair color

c. Number of offspring

d. Number of limbs

Solution

Variation within a species is caused due to genetic differences governed by varying allele frequencies and duet to environmental factors that somewhere effect the expression of the genetic potentials thereby causing phenotypic variation.

Number of limbs is a physical characteristics, very unlikely governed by genetic variation. While factors such as hair color (grey, black, white etc.), height (tall, short, medium) etc. are governed by genetic variation as a result of which they have several phenotypic variations.

Hence, option D is correct

How does a single change in nitrogen base alter the formation of a protein

jasenka [17]

During translation to RNA, the nitrogen bases on the DNA molecule are translated to complementary RNA bases. Afterwards, these bases are again used to form amino acids.
Three bases make up a codon, which codes for a specific amino acid. If a base is changed, the codon will become changed. This will result in a different amino acid being produced in and the primary structure of the polypeptide will be altered.
