C. Although Alpha Centauri B is similar in size to the sun, it is much further away from earth. The sun is 8 minutes away from earth at the speed of light, while Alpha Centauri B and earth is more than 4 light years apart.

Answer:

C) It is farther away from Earth than the Sun.

Explanation:

Alpha Centauri B is a star almost the same size as the sun and with a high energy content, however it is very distant from the earth at a distance of 4.365 ± 0.004 light years, which makes it seen as a small star, not as bright and not as powerful as the sun itself.

The sun, on the other hand, is at a distance of 0.000015692 light years, which means that it is very close and that is why we can perceive its size and luminosity.

The extinction is taking place globally and involves hundreds of species at the same time. In less than 50 years, we have lost numerous species. In contrast to this, previously during the mass extinction, only a few species were lost, and other managed to survive. But, not the status is opposite due to the magnitude of the extinction.

Ribosomes

This  is the organelle for regulating protein synthesis in cells.It is made up of the small and big submits. These sub units collectively ensure the process of  translation of protein my ensuing the correct  synchronisation of condoms not he smaller nit of ribosomes with the anti codons on the tRNA with the  to give a designated protein.

Therefore if there is mutation -deletion or substitution  in the codons and anti codons,.this may affect bring frame shift which affects the protein translated leading to  wrong protein formation.

Mitochondria is the organelle that gives the sperm  power to swim.Therefore the protein that  codes for mitochondrial is faulty and this affects the the tail from swimming properly.since ribosomes is the source of protein this is the correct answer
