A) Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis. :)
Explanation:
To quote Nat Geo:
"Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules" :)
Answer:
B) a nonsense mutation; this is because a nonsense mutation results in the change of a regular amino acid codon into a stop codon, which ceases translation. This fits with the problem's description of the protein that causes the symptoms as too short, as translation is the process by which proteins/polypeptides are created. A missense mutation would not be the answer because it still codes for an amino acid, which would not shorten the protein. A duplication of the gene would probably just lengthen the protein or not affect its length at all.
Every species exhibits variations based on various genes being activated at various times. An example with humans can be eye color or hair color. What species means is that all members of a species can procreate with healthy, capable of procreating progeny, but anything else is just a variation.
