The question lacks the multiple options. All the information related to frame shift mutation and point mutation will be included in the answer.
Answer:
Mutation is the sudden heritable change in the genetic sequence of the organisms. Two main types of mutation are frame shift mutation and point mutation.
The point mutation occurs due to the change in the single nucleotide sequence or base. Frame shift mutation refers to the deletion or insertion of the basepair in the sequence. The frame shift mutation changes the reading frame of the sequence.
The coral provides the algae with a protected safe environment (a home) and compounds they need for photosynthesis. The algae in return, produce oxygen and help the coral to remove wastes. Most importantly, zooxanthellae supply the coral with glucose, glycerol, and amino acids, which are the products of photosynthesis.
1. Reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid
2. Ensures that each of the 4 gametes has a complete set of chromosomes
I belive they are to grow, repair, and reproduce.
