nikitadnepr [17]2 years ago

Mutations are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body. Also called germ-line mutations because they are present in the parent’s egg or sperm cells. Mutations occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells but not in every cell in the body. The changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division.

Hope i could help :)

Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are two long-chain fatty acids necessary for the development of Multiple C
lana [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: the nervous system, brain, and eyes.

Explanation:

Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that have great nutritional value, as they are omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, respectively, meaning they are essential fats that cannot be produced by the body and, therefore, need to be part of the diet.

The consumption of ARA and DHA has been directly linked to the development of the brain and the retina, and the inclusion of these fatty acids in the nutrition of infants has been proven to be extremely beneficial to their growth.

Besides their functions in the development of the nervous system and the eyes, ARA and DHA play a role in maintaining a healthy immune system and preventing cardiovascular conditions.
