Answer:

D. a mutation causing uncontrolled cell division

Explanation:

Mutations can be beneficial, neutral or harmful and therefore are not targeted, occurring at random. This means that a change in DNA can provide an improvement in the body, cause no advantage or harm or even trigger problems, as in the case of genetic diseases. Thus, a mutation does not arise to guarantee the evolution of an organism, but is completely random.

Beneficial mutations are those that bring benefits to the body by helping it survive, or by helping with a particular task. We can cite as beneficial mutations:

  • a mutation allowing moths to camouflage better on blackened tree bark
  • a mutation making Staphylococcus aureus resistant to the antibiotic methicillin
  • a mutation inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus from attaching to and entering the cell
  • a mutation giving plant leaves a bitter taste to discourage herbivores from eating them

On the other hand, an evil mutation is one that causes damage to the body, such as a mutation that causes uncontrolled cell division.

What are the similarities between an onion and whitefish cells?
Zepler [3.9K]
<span>The similarities between an onion and whitefish cells exist in the cell division process. Normally the basic process of mitosis cell division is similar for plant cells and animal cells, but there are fundamental differences that mark the mitosis of plant and animal cells. Basic similarities of onion cell and that of whitefish embryo cell is that in the four phase of mitosis namely, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase occurs in similar way. In Prophase for both cells the chromatin condensed and in metaphase the chromatin aligns in the center of cell and kinetochores of chromosomes attached with the microtubules of spindle from opposite poles. In Anaphase stage, the chromatids from the metaphase plate are separated and shifted to opposite poles.. Finally at Telophase, the cell divides via cytokinesis. The fundamental difference between Onion cells and Whitefish cells can be found in the process of cytokinesis.
