Answer:

(B). Missense

Explanation:

A mutation that causes incorporation of an incorrect amino acid in a synthesizing protein is known as missense mutation. It involves a single nucleotide change in DNA sequence that leads to change in codon, which codes for a different amino acid.

For example, in sickle cell disease, the sixth amino acid, glutamic acid in polypeptide chain is replaced with valine due to change in codon from GAG (codes for glutamic acid) to GTG (codes for valine).

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Many soil-dwelling bacteria produce molecules that can be naturally synthesized and kill other species of bacteria. What are these bacteria-killing molecules called antibiotics

Antibiotics are effective pills which can be usually safe. Although they are very helpful in fighting disease,  antibiotics can actually be harmful. Important Facts About Antibiotic Safety: Antibiotics can cause side effects such as allergic reactions and severe and potentially life-threatening diarrhea caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C. diff).

Antibiotics can also interfere with other medications you may be taking. Antibiotic side effects account for nearly one-fifth of  emergency room visits. These conditions are the most common reasons for emergency room visits for children under the age of 18. Taking antibiotics you don't need unnecessarily exposes you  to the drug's side effects and denies you the benefits.

Explanation:

Importance of free nitrogen in case of animals

Nitrogen is an important constituent of porphyrin ring present in the hemoglobin protein protein which play a significant role in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas.

Nitrogen is also important in cell growth,repair and tissue development.We cannot intake the atmospheric nitrogen.Nitrogen is acquired by us through the consumption of protein rich diet.

Importance of free nitrogen in case of plants

Nitrogen is an important component of the chlorophyll pigment present in the leaves which helps in photosynthesis a process that deals with the formation of glucose by the utilization of sunlight.

Some parts of the energy rich compound Adenosine triphosphate is made up of Nitrogen.
