A parasitic organism is one that benefits from its host, but doesn't benefit the host, in fact, it has negative effects to the host.

In this case, we have 4 examples of worms, and we're supposed to find the parasitic one. And, I think this is something we can do without having to go deep into the subject, because at first sight, we can distinguish a worm, that we all know isn't paricularly good - leeches.

→ Leeches are an example of parasitic annelides that live in high-humidity environments, and live partly from the blood they suck from animals and sometimes humans.

Hope it helped,

If a point mutation occurs in a body cell so that the original sequence of mRNA of CGA changes to AGA, what will be the likely c
Talja [164]

Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)
