The correct answer is: A. A change in a cell's genetic material.
Mutations occur in DNA as a result of mistakes during the DNA replication (when repair mechanisms don’t fix it) or as the result of environmental factors (e.g. UV light). Mutations can have positive impact, by increasing the genetic variation or can have negative effect, causing the diseases or cancer.
The regression equation is:
y = 1.15 – 0.251 x₁ + 0.078 x₂ + 0.306 x₁x₂

<span>
Where,
x₁ = -0.2508
x₂ = 0.0777
x₁x₂ = 0.3058
Inserting the values,
<span>
<span>
</span></span>y = 1.15 – {0.251 × (-0.2508)} + {0.078 ×(0.0777)} + {0.306 × (0.3058)}
</span></span></span>
y = 1.15 - (- 0.0629508) + 0.0060606 + 0.935748
y = 1.15 + 0.0629508 + 0.0060606 + 0.935748
y = 1.3125862
Answer:
x₁ and x₂ are main effects (a type of tuna and type of packing liquid) that contribute significant information for the prediction of <span>y.</span>
The DNA has to code for a protein and it has to replicate
I believe the answer is c
