Answer:

The correct answer is A. carbon fixation.

Explanation:

Carboxisomes are the microcompartment which is present in cyanobacteria and some chemotrophic bacteria which contain an enzyme called RuBisCO. This enzyme is responsible for carbon fixation in bacteria and plants.

Carboxysomes contain many polyhedron proteins that contain these enzymes which do carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle. As in carboxysome, the concentration of CO2 around RuBisCO is high so the competition with O2 is decreased or eliminated that favors carbon fixation and production of organic compounds. So the correct answer is A.

Describe the ways mutations can affect DNA and chromosomes.​
lozanna [386]
Mutations present permanent and heritable changes in the genome. We distinguish gene and chromosome mutations. Mutations in the level of genes are called point mutations because only one to several nucleotides are changed. These processes are known as deletion, insertion, and substitution. Deletion presents a loss of nucleotides which changes DNA sequence. When new nucleotides are embedded in the DNA chain, it is known as insertion. Substitution implies the process where new nucleotides are inserted while the ones that were present in that specific spot in a DNA molecule are deleted.
Mutations can also appear in chromosomes altering their number and structure. There are four types of mutations - deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation. In deletion, a whole or one part of a chromosome is lost. Duplication presents an extra copy of a whole or one part of a chromosome. In an inversion, parts of a chromosome change order, while in translocation a part of one chromosome detaches and then connects to another.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

mitochondria  

Explanation:

Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are capable of generating the main part of the energy required for the cellular biochemical reactions. In addition, mitochondria are also involved in distinct biological functions including, among others, cell signaling, death, differentiation and growth. It is believed that mitochondria evolved from prokaryotic organisms which introduced inside others to form eukaryotic cells, this theory is known as the 'endosymbiotic theory'.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A, B, and C, only

Explanation:

The amino group is the functional group of the form CH-NH₂ consisting of single bonds formed between hydrogen atoms, aryl groups, alkyl groups or two or more of such groups combined together bonded with a nitrogen atom. An amine is an organic compound that has an amino group in its composition or structure

Therefore, the amino group can be found in the molecules of A, B, and C only.
