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 :)

Assume that some members of an aquatic species of motile, photosynthetic protists evolve to become parasitic to fish. They gain
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: l<em>oss of chloroplasts.</em>

Explanation:

The parasite would lose chloroplasts. As they absorb nutrients from the fish digest food in the gut of the animal, parasites do not need to photosynthesize any more. There are some parasites in the fishes digestive tract that conserve their motile capacity by keeping their flagellum or cilium. Some species get their membranes thicker for protection in their interaction with the host, and they can also secrete a special capsule.  In general, these organisms reproduce asexually.
