Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, the atoms in the mineral get rearranged.

Explanation:

With time, and under immense pressure, the atoms of a substance can become reorganized, producing a novel substance. For example, the carbon present underground in the form of coal encounters with intense pressure, that further gets rearranged or reorganized to convert into a diamond, that is, the atoms of coal get rearrange themselves with time to produce a diamond.

Sergio [31]

This is an example of Precursor gene regulation (protein translation) type of eukaryotic gene regulation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The source which breakdown proteins into smaller amino acid is pepsin and generated as top cells within stomach lining or membrane, responsible for pepsinogen emission inside stomach. It is represented as zymogen having an extra 44 amino acids linkage as its primary structure. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) releases this zymogen which is emitted from the parietal cells in the stomach lining.

Once food is consumed, the hormone gastrine and the vagus nerve cause the secretion of both pepsinogen and HCl from the stomach lining. Hydrochloric acid induces an acidic environment that allows pepsinogen to unfold in an autocatalytic manner and thus generates pepsin the active form.
