<span>Errors in genes that result in the production of defective proteins are called genetic mutations</span>
Yes, because each of the four nucleotide bases present in DNA have a corresponding base: adenine bases always pair with thymine bases, and cytosine bases always pair with guanine bases. For example, if one strand of a DNA molecule was CTAGGT, the sequence of the second strand would be, from left to right, GATCCA.
Answer:b) Caenorhabditis
Explanation:
The C.elgans is a species of Caenorhabditis. It is a namatode which can be male or hermaphrodite. It lays 1000 of eggs which can be used for the purpose of research studies. These worms share common genes and molecular pathways like in humans.
Many of the genes present in C. elegans have functional counterparts as that of humans which makes them useful for determining the cause of human diseases. The mutant forms of genes of C.elegans can be used for screening the thousands of drugs. The genes have been used to determine the effects of ageing in humans, cancer, diabetes and other diseases.
Due to above reasons the C.elegans are considered as model organisms.
