The right answer is C

An allele is a variable version of the same gene, because a gene can have several versions of the same gene, which can give slightly different structural proteins due to these variations in the DNA, thus, giving different phenotypes.

In most cases, the multiplicity of alleles in a gene gives phenotypic variation in the population due to their different expression. Therefore, the larger the number of alleles, the greater the number of phenotypes in the population.

To a lesser extent (more rarely), some variation can be a deletion giving non-functional proteins, causing rare diseases (like cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia).

If there is a mutation in a zygote, where is it likely to be found in the fetus?

lisabon 2012 [21]

The correct answer is C.
The zygote is a single fertilized egg cell that the embryo develops from.
This one cell possesses one copy of DNA that is going to be passed to all other cells in the embryo because all other cells of the embryo develop through mitotic divisions of the zygote.
Therefore, if a mutation happens in the zygote DNA, all of the cells in the embryo are going to have it as well.

To see how many atoms are in the chemical formula or element symbol, look at the subscript.

KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms in each specie, we consider the coefficient and the subscript of each of the given atoms.

1. NaCl:

Na = 1 atom

Cl = 1 atom

2. CO₂

C = 1 atom

O = 2 atom

3. O₂

O = 2 atoms

4. C₆H₁₂O₆

C = 6 atoms

H = 12 atoms

O = 6 atoms

For the second part;

1. 2NaCl

Na = 2 atoms

Cl = 2 atoms

2. 3CO₂

C = 3 atoms

O = 6 atoms

3. 4O₂

O = 8 atoms

4. 2C₆H₁₂O₆

C = 12 atoms

H = 24 atoms

O = 12 atoms

1. cells are composed of chemicals, and both the structure and function of cells are regulated by basic chemistry principles.

Tamiku [17]

The cell is the smallest level of organization and is composed of chemicals and atoms. These chemicals regulate the structure and functioning. Thus, the statement is true.

A cell has been defined as the basic unit of the organization of organisms that have been known to be composed of chemicals, atoms, and molecules. They are bonded together to perform various functions.

The chemicals and elements involved are the fundamentals that provide the structural support and functions of the cell like the carbohydrates and lipids provides shape to the cell.

Therefore, the statement is true.
