Answer:

C

Explanation:

The mutation seen is most likely due to a frameshift mutation. A nucleotide was added or removed without replacement. This shifted the codon reading sequence by one nucleotide. Therefore the codon downstream of the mutation will code for different amino acids.

Are species in the same family more or less closely related than species in the same class?
katrin [286]
The classification is in this order: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus Species. 
The kingdom is the largest group, it contains the largest number of organisms who are the least related.
The species is the smallest group, it contains the least number of organisms who are closely related.
As you go down, from "Kingdom", species become more closely related.
So species in the same family are MORE closely related than species in the same class.

serious [3.7K]
It is impossible as there is a loss of energy between the transfer of energy between flogs and <span>mosquitoes. This ecosystem would never be sustainable or in equilibrium. There is also no primary producer within this ecosystem. No ecosystem can exist without some initial source of energy that would be obtained using solar or chemical energy. For terrestrial ecosystems, plant primary producers would normally provide the initial energy into the ecosystem.  </span>
