Answer : The correct answer for the blank is - C) point mutation.

Mutation can be described as the permanent change in the sequence of genetic material (that is DNA) of living organisms.

Point mutation corresponds to change in one nucleotide sequence of DNA.

There can be primarily three types of point mutation that is deletion (one nucleotide is deleted from the sequence), addition (a nucleotide is added), and substitution (a nucleotide is substituted by another nucleotide).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The substitution, addition, or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a point mutation. It is a type of mutation that affects only one or very few nucleotides in a gene sequence.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

O blood is a recessive trait, so none of the children will have O blood. The genes for either type A or Type B will be determined by the egg/sperm being fertilized with the reproductive cell of the other parent. the probability of receiving either of the gene versions is 1/2, so half of the children will have A blood and the other half will have B blood

Answer the following questions:

Naddik [55]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system allows us to breathe . They bring oxygen into our body and remove carbon dioxide from the body .

2. Tiny hairs called cilia protect the nasal passageways and other parts of the respiratory tract, filtering out dust and other particles that enter the nose through the breathed air.

3. The throat (pharynx and larynx) is a ring-like muscular tube that acts as the passageway for air, food and liquid. It is located behind the nose and mouth and connects the mouth (oral cavity) and nose to the breathing passages (trachea [windpipe] and lungs) and the esophagus (eating tube).

4. The main function of the epiglottis is to seal off the windpipe during eating, so that food is not accidentally inhaled.

5. The heart pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation and the lungs then give the heart back oxygen rich blood to be transmitted to the whole body
