Answer:

Rabbit's offspring will die due to this mutation.

Explanation:

Mutations occur in sex cells or germ line cells are heritable and known as germline mutations. Sex cells produce gametes (sperm and ovum) and hence, mutation in these pass to the offspring.  When either a mutated ovum or sperm come together to form a single-cell zygote, each cell in developing zygote has that mutation.  

Thus, if a mutation affects the protein required for heart muscle in an adult rabbit, it will be pass to his offspring. The offspring will not be able to make functional proteins to build heart muscles and will die as heart is a vital organ.

What makes up the "tail" of an ATP molecule? 3 phosphate groups ribose adenine 2 phosphate groups
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The tail of an ATP molecule is made up by 3 phosphate groups link together by the help of 2 high energy phospho anhydride bonds.

Explanation:

ATP or adenosine tri phosphate is an energy rich compound that contain adenine base, ribose sugar and 3 phosphate groups.

                  These 3 phosphate groups makes up the tail of ATP molecule.The 3 phosphate groups are designated as alpha phosphate,beta phosphate and gamma phosphate starting from the C5 atom of ribose sugar.

          When ATP undergo hydrolysis the terminal phosphate group or the gamma phosphate group is cleaved from the ATP molecule resulting in the formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate along with the generation of high amount of free energy that is utilized by the cell to perform various cellular and physiological activities.
