Answer:

Option). duplication.

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in DNA, due to change in its nucleotide sequence. A mutation that occurs due to replication or duplication of a portion of genetic material is known as duplication.  

As altered sequence in given bacterium represents duplication of three guanine nucleotides, the type of mutation that caused this sequence change is duplication.

Original sequence: act<u>ggg</u>atcct

Altered sequence:  atcggggggatcct

Thus, the correct answer is 'duplication.'

Answer:

C. Removing this step decreases the amount of carbon in the air: This is correct, removing factories would decrease the emission of greenhouse gases, thus decreasing CO2 in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

When we look at the picture we can see that the line that goes from G to C, goes from a factory to the atmosphere. As we know factories release a great number of elements into the atmosphere being one of them, carbon dioxide. Therefore taking into consideration we can proceed to analyze the following statements.

A. Removing this step prevents photosynthesis in the next step: This is not true industry increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, even if they don't exist there is enough CO2 for plants to perform photosynthesis.

B.Removing this step increases the amount of carbon in the soil: This is not true as factories release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, not the soil.

C. Removing this step decreases the amount of carbon in the air: This is correct, removing factories would decrease the emission of greenhouse gases, thus decreasing CO2 in the atmosphere.

D. Removing this step increases carbon storage in plants: This is incorrect the carbon storage in plants is cording to their necessities independently of the abundance in CO2, in the atmosphere.
