Answer:

B) Errors that appear in one copy can be copied to all other copies of the book.

Explanation:

Mutation means any change in the bases of DNA that are transferred to the offspring when organisms reproduces. No matter if the mutation is lethal or harmless, in both cases it will be transferred to the offspring upon reproduction. So from the options mentioned in the answers, answer B correctly illustrates the situation by comparing with the copying of a book.

If there is a mistake of one character, word or sentence in the newly printed book that goes unnoticed, it will be transferred to all the the copies and cause damage to the newly created books.

Note! All mutations are not negative and few can help in the survival of the species when selection pressures change.

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) contains

Basile [38]

Answer:The correct answer is " a"

LDL contain protein,triglycerides,phospholipid and cholesterol.

Explanation:

Low density lipoprotein,or LDL,are complex aggregates of lipids and protein.Their function is to transport lipids (fats) around the body,in the bloodstream,and to the cells where its required.Apart from this,it also carries triglycerides,phospholipids and fat soluble vitamins.

Lipoprotein is composed of a hydrophobic core that is made up of polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol molecules,along with a lipid membrane that contains protein called apolipoproteins.

There are 4 major classes of lipoprotein:

•chylomicrons

•very low density lipoprotein(VLDL)

•high density lipoprotein (HDL)

•low density lipoprotein(LDL)

All of the following patterns were witnessed by Darwin except that species vary

Juliette [100K]

<span>A. within very short spans of time.

</span><span>The natural selection process ensures that the weak members or traits of organisms are removed so that only the strong will remain. This ensures that the organisms and their descendants will live for as long as possible. This is the process by which organisms evolve to allow for higher survival rates. For example, an animal that is covered by thick and multiple layers of fur is made for the extremely cold climates. However, if the world begins to get warmer and warmer, such animals and their offspring will begin to have thinner and thinner layers of fur. This will allow their specie to survive longer. </span>

What is the role of the DNA polymerase in DNA replication

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The role of the Polymerase is to make more DNA from nucleotides. There a few different types of Polymerase, and they work in pairs to replicate cells.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase III are the main DNA polymerases. These are involved in DNA replication, proofreading and repair of DNA. During the process of replication, DNA polymerase adds nucleotides on the RNA primer. ... It is very accurate in assembling nucleotides during replication.
