Answer:

The correct answer will be B.(Can cause cancers)

Explanation:

Somatic mutations are mutations present or found in the somatic cells or non-germ-line cells.

since these mutations are present in the somatic cells and not in the germ cells so they cannot be passed on to the progeny.

But these mutations in the somatic cells can cause  tumor which can lead to cancer. This happens if the gene causing cancer for e.g- Proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene is involved in cell division is mutated. So, the mutated gene is passed on to the daughter cells during cell division and shows uncontrolled differentiation of cells causing cancer.

Thus, option B is correct.

Which of the following can reduce biodiversity within a natural environment?
zepelin [54]
The answer is either b or c because bio means life and diversity means different and the ants stinging other insects get  rid of a population and maybe another species lives off of the species that ant killed.                                                                                                     
When the grasslands are converted into housing projects it gets rid of everything so no trees no animals and no diversity of living organisms other than humans
