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.

Arada [10]

Answer:

recombinant DNA

Explanation:

In molecular biology, recombinant DNA molecules are genetic sequences formed by combining DNA material from different sources (i.e., organisms, populations, species, etc). Proteins produced from DNA recombinant molecules are known as recombinant proteins. Molecular cloning is the most widely used technique in molecular biology in order to produce recombinant DNA molecules. In this technique, a cloning vector such as, for example, a plasmid of a bacterium, is used to insert a foreign DNA fragment into another cell which is then expressed in the host cell.

A student is riding a bike and applies the brakes. Which most helps the bike to stop
Olenka [21]
I’m guessing friction of the wheels and the floor help stop it, or the friction of the brake and the wheels cause the wheel to stop moving thus stopping the bike

Brake applied->brake stops wheels from turning->wheels and the floor cause friction and stop the bike

I’m probably wrong but trying to help
