The term "IMViC" is an acronym for each of these tests. "I" is for indole test; "M" is for methyl red test; "V" is for Voges-Proskauer test, and "C" is for citrate test. The lower case "i" is merely for "in" as the Citrate test requires coliform samples to be placed "in Citrate". Triple sugar iron test (TSI), Urease Test and Malonate Test are also included in this test.
For each of the tests, different reagents are added to the species are inoculated and tested.
For Salmonella sp. the IMViC Test result is:
Indole - negative
Methyl red - Positive
Voges-Proskauer - negative
Citrate - positive

Answer:
B) a nonsense mutation; this is because a nonsense mutation results in the change of a regular amino acid codon into a stop codon, which ceases translation. This fits with the problem's description of the protein that causes the symptoms as too short, as translation is the process by which proteins/polypeptides are created. A missense mutation would not be the answer because it still codes for an amino acid, which would not shorten the protein. A duplication of the gene would probably just lengthen the protein or not affect its length at all.
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will diffuse to the ocean water (since normally, there is lower concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean water). The dissolved carbon dioxide takes into the form of carbonic acid thereby increasing acidity of ocean water. More often than not, the acidification of ocean water leads to detrimental results especially in marine organisms that are pH sensitive such as coral reefs and many invertebrates.
