Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Mutation causes cancer which is in general acquired i.e developing due to the habits of an individual. Some common factors that lead to acquired mutation are – smoking, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, viruses injection etc. Such factor interrupts with the genetic code of the normal cell and lead to uncontrolled division of cell thereby causing cell mas or cell clot which eventually becomes tumor and cancer.  

Hence, option D is correct

Photosynthetic and chemosynthetic organisms can be called primary producers because they make their own food?
LenaWriter [7]

Heterotrophs are organisms that must consume food from other organisms because they are unable to synthesize their own food molecules.

<h3>What is heterotrophs?</h3>
  • An organism is referred to be a heterotroph if it is unable to manufacture food on its own and must obtain it from other sources of organic carbon, primarily plant or animal materials.
  • Heterotrophs are primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in the food chain but not producers.
  • Because they eat producers or other consumers, heterotrophs are referred to as consumers.
  • Humans, dogs, and birds are all instances of heterotrophs.
  • In a food chain, a group of creatures that supply energy and nutrients to other organisms, heterotrophs occupy the second and third levels.
  • An organism is referred to as a heterotroph if it consumes other plants or animals for food and energy.
  • Its origins are in the Greek words hetero, which means "other," and trophe, which means "nutrition."
  • Autotrophs and heterotrophs are two main classifications of organisms depending on how they receive energy and nutrients.

He diagram shows the genetic code, which cells use to translate a nucleotide sequence into an amino acid sequence in a protein.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

I believe it is A, but I could be wrong.

Explanation:

I think this, because when it says, "Other, less useful, versions of the genetic code were eliminated gradually throughout the course of evolution", I think it referencing to the fact that all animals and etc, are made up of common codes, and how over time, through evolution, certain codes were eliminated, because creatures were evolving.
