How might alterations in dna structure be harmful to an organism?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Changes in the dna are called mutations. They can occur spontaneously. Mutations can only be passed down in gametes--sperm and egg cells. with Darwins theory at mind a mutation needs to pass the test of natural selection to remain in the gene pool. So purposly making mutation or altercations may end in diseases/illnesses or in some cases death because they body can not take it.....hope this helps if it doesnt im sorry!

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option - 1. If passage through the placenta is adversely affected by fetal disease. and 4. If rapid drug effects are required.

Explanation:

Normally the drug that is provided and administrated to the fetal is through the placenta of the mother. The direct delivery of medicine can be dangerous. However, with the advancement of the medical technology direct fetal drug administration is possible and it assists in the rapid uptake of the drug by the fetus.

If the fetus requires a rapid drug effect it can be provided by direct drug delivery. Also when the placental is not working properly and affected by the disease it is recommended to provide the fetus with the drug with the help of direct delivery.

Thus, the correct answer is : 1. If passage through the placenta is adversely affected by fetal disease. and 4. If rapid drug effects are required.
