Option C:

B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3' 

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.

As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.  

If we look at option B:

wild-type 5-AUG   CAU  ACA  UUG  GAG  UGA-3  

mutant 5’-    AUG   CAU  ACA  UCU  GGA  GUG  A-3’  

An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.

How did the agreement that no state could stop a fugitive slave form being returned to his or her owner affect slaves?
ELEN [110]

This affected slaves in a negative way because since the fugitive slaves would be returned to their owner, the slaves would later suffer punishment, beatings, and even death due to them escaping their master. It was a terrible agreement that no state could stop a fugitive slave from being returned to his/her owner.

Many people have a tendency to think that heat and temperature are the same thing. However, this is not true. Heat describes
kati45 [8]

The correct answer is actually  

B) energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.

because temperature is a measure of the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the random motions of its particles.  Heat is the energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. Heat cannot flow in the opposite direction.
