1. The oxygen requirements of an animal cannot be met by the process of diffusion as diffusion is a very slow process. To overcome this, multicellular organisms have specialized cells and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body such as intake of oxygen and food.
2. What criteria do we use to decide whether something is alive? Any visible movement such as walking, breathing, or growing is generally used to decide whether something is alive or not. However, a living organism can also have movements, which are not visible to the naked eye.
3. An organism uses outside raw materials mostly in the form of food and oxygen. The raw materials required by an organism can be quite varied depending on the complexity of the organism and its environment.
4. The various processes essential for maintaining life are nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, control and coordination.

Answer: Missense mutation
Explanation:
Missense mutation is a type of point mutation where a single nucleotide is changed to cause substitution of a different amino acid. This in turns render the resulting protein non-functional.
In the case of sickle-cell disease, the sixth amino acid in the gene sequence, glutamate (GAG) is substituted with valine (GUA), due to Adenine nucleotide changed to Uracil nucleotide. Thus, missense mutation has occurred
Answer:
It could lead to several later problems in the cell.
Explanation:
Removing a piece of DNA could severely affect the cell but it could also cause nothing. Depending on the part that is damaged, it could codify for a vital protein but it could also be an intron, which are pieces of DNA that don't codify for any protein. This has been recently researched and even though there are introns that could cause some serious trouble, most of them are an unknown matter to nowadays scientists. Anyway, a wrongly repaired sequence could end in a mutation that can potentially damage the cell and therefore the organism.
A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:
UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG
So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.
Answer:
A stem and leaf diagram has two parts, the 'stem' and the 'leaf'. In the stem, there are numbers in ascending order from top to bottom. In the leaf, there are numbers showing the next digit of the number in the stem. The leaf is to the right of the stem.
The function of a stem and leaf diagram is to summarize data in a way that separates numbers into different number categories.
