Answer:

b. forward mutation, suppressor mutation

Explanation:

When the nucleotide sequence of an organism is altered, it is called as mutation. It can be caused by DNA damage or replication errors. In forward mutation, the wild type allele is converted to a mutant version such that the gene product is non functional or its not produced at all. Suppressor mutation is the second mutation which reverses the phenotypic effects of the previous mutation. This process is called as synthetic rescue.

Since here gene X was converted into a mutant form by the mutation, it had undergone forward mutation. When gene Y was mutated, the function of gene X was  restored which ultimately also restored the phenotype hence it is an example of suppressor mutation.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: Micro villi

Explanation:

The cellular structures that increases the superficial surface area of the cell is known as micro villi. It is an extension of cell membrane.

This structure helps in the increasing the surface area for the maximizing the absorption of food materials.

It also helps in providing a large area in a very compacted space. It is found at many places in the human body such as in small intestine.
