Anton [14]3 years ago

Answer:

A gene mutation can be described as errors in the nucleotide sequence of a gene due to errors in the DNA replication process or due to any mutagen. On the other hand, a chromosomal mutation can be described as a change in the structure of a DNA or changes in the number of chromosomes.

A gene mutation occurs in a single gene whereas a chromosomal mutation will affect many genes. Hence, gene mutations will be comparatively less lethal than chromosomal mutations.

Example of gene mutation: Sickle cell anemia

Example of chromosomal mutation:  Down's Syndrome

fgiga [73]

Answer:

ribosome, cell membrane, nucleus

Explanation:

The organelles that perform similar functions in both plant and animal cells among the listed organelles would be <u>the ribosome</u>, <u>the cell membrane</u>, and <u>the nucleus.</u>

First of all, chloroplast and cell wall are limited to the plant cell only. Animal cells do not have these organelles.

The ribosome functions as the site of protein synthesis in both plant and animal cells. The cell membrane acts as a channel for the control of the movement of materials in and out of the cells and is found in both plant and animal cells. The nucleus is also present in both cells and serves as the control unit of the cell by housing the genetic materials and dictating how the cells will behave.
