Substituion mutation is responsible for small changes in a trait.

Explanation:

This kind of mutation merely changes the type of nucleotide in the DNA sequence. The mutation does not cause a frameshift as would a deletion of addition mutation.

A substitution mutation would at worst change an amino acid in the translated protein. This would likely have a slight effect on how the protein folds into an active protein. On the other hand, mutations that cause frameshifts have the biggest effect on the proteins. They change all the amino acids of a protein downstream of the point of mutation.

$\textbf{ \textit{The Correct Answer is Option A.}}}$

Explanation:

The anatomy of a child's brains can be divided into three parts:

- Cerebrum;

- Brainserm;

- Cerebellum.

The Cerebrum has the Cerebral cortex that is responsible for functions as coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, hearing, speech and language, judgment, reasoning, emotions and memory.

The Brainstem includes the medulla, midbrain, and the pons, being responsible for most of the involuntary movements.

The Cerebellum coordinate vonluntary muscle movements, and the balance of the body.

The part that stores the memory for a toddler as they are learning to walk is the cerebral cortex while the cerebellum coordinate and balance their movement to improve the walk with time.
