It helps them grow more roots and reach nutrients and water
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. It is the genes that is responsible for passing albinism from a parent organism to its offspring. Genes are what you get from your parents, proteins are what you get from eating meat, codons are basically the stuff in genetic codes and base pairs make up your DNA.
Answer:
The high temperatures of volcanic magma creates hydrothermal veins, allowing some of the heat to escape near the upper layers of the Earth's crust. This is why copper is often found in the sedimentary layer, where sand and mud are compressed until they form a layer of sedimentary rock on the surface of the earth.
By looking at the ratio of the dominant and undominant trait
A different protein would be made. A cell has no way of knowing if the pair was A=T or T=A originally, so if they switch the cell will think it was that way all along. A different protein will be made (most of the time) because the mutation leaves no traces of itself for DNA repair mechanisms to detect (unlike mutations like cytosine turning into uracil or two thymines binding together, which the cell knows is an unnatural occurrence). So if the switch goes unnoticed, that gene will code for a different protein. This is because proteins are made of strings of amino acids, and the sequence determines a proteins shape and function. DNA codes for sequences of amino acids. Each amino acid is represented as three bases, so TGC will code for something different than AGC. This means that if TGC is mutated into AGC, the resulting protein will also have the wrong amino acid.
