The answer is A. They have a hydrocarbon backbone that can be chemically altered.
Answer:
Monomer: 2 - Amino acid
3 -Nucleotide
Polymer: 1 - Cellulose
3 - Nucleic acids
Example: 1 - Carbohydrates
2 - Collagen
Function 1: Carbohydrates are a source of energy in the body.
Function 2: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It's a long, fibrous structural protein that supports tissues and gives structure to individual cells. Collagen fibers are tough and found in bundles. They providing tensile strength to the tissues containing them.
Function 3: DNA is a protein structure that carries instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. It is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things, its main role is the long-term storage of information
Explanation:
Monomers are single molecules that can bond with identical molecules to form polymers.
1. Glucose can combine with other glucose molecules to form starch or cellulose which results in formation of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are a source of energy in the body.
2. Amino acids can combine with other amino acids to form a protein chain which results in formation of collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It's a long, fibrous structural protein that supports tissues and gives structure to individual cells. Collagen fibers are tough and found in bundles. They providing tensile strength to the tissues containing them.
3. Nucleotides can combine to form nucleic acids resulting in formation of enzymes.

Answer:
1). Xeroderma pigmentation.
2). Ataxia-telangiectasia.
Explanation:
DNA repair processes include all the processes, which help in identification and correction of errors or damages in DNA. Defects in DNA repair mechanisms that increase risks for developing cancers and various other disorders. Two conditions related to faulty DNA repair are:
1). Xeroderma pigmentation (XP): XP can be defined as a genetic disorder, due to mutations in genes involved in repair processes. It leads to severe sunburn and freckling due to sun exposure, dry skin and skin pigmentation. People having xeroderma pigmentation are prone for skin cancer.
2). Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT): AT is caused bu mutation in ATM gene (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) gene, which in involved in nucleotide-excision repair pathway. It leads to severe disability in children and increases risk for developing lymphomas and leukemia.
Only if there are two of them. The resessive allele in Rr can not express itself, but in rr it can express itself
