Answer:

The correct answer is A) ingestion

Explanation:

Heterotrophs are organisms that depend on other organisms to get nutrition because they can not make their food. The process by which they take nutrition is called injection.

During ingestion, they consume the performed organic molecule. Mouth is the organ that helps in ingestion of the food. Then the food is digested in the body of the heterotrophs by the action of different enzymes.  

For example, humans are heterotrophs that do ingestion of food from its mouth and then the food is digested by different hydrolytic enzymes. So the correct answer is A.

Flu vaccines need to be revised and changed every year because the flu virus constantly mutates. Flu viruses can change in two ways: drift or shift. Antigenic drift occurs when genes of the virus slowly change during replication until the immune system no longer recognizes it. On the other hand, antigenic shift occurs when a major change in the virus happens. This usually leads to a totally different kind of virus. This is what happened during the H1N1 scare in 2009.

DNA viruses like mumps are less prone to mutation due to the presence of DNA polymerase. RNA viruses are more prone to mutation because they undergo reverse transcription to simulate the role of DNA.
