Simple....
as you've learned... cells create tissue..tissue creates organs...organs create organ systems..and organ systems create organisms. They all work together to create something...
An example:
muscle cell-->>muscle tissue-->>heart-->>circulatory system-->>the circulatory system makes up a part of the body.
Thus, your answer.
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.
I will have to say D) they keep the prey population low so they will be less likely to deplete resources such as food, water, and shelter... hope i helped!!
