Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

A mutation is a change or alteration in the sequence of the DNA of the organism which leads to change the function of the sequence.

The mutation is caused by many mechanisms but one of the mechanism is by adding or deleting the nucleotide in the sequence of the DNA.

The addition or deletion shifts the frame of the DNA while scanning it to form mRNA molecule which then codes a different protein. Therefore the type of mutation is known as "frameshift mutation".

In the given question, since the only deletion is provided therefore, option-D is the correct answer.

I would say D

A frameshift mutation is a mutation caused by an insertion or deletion, which causes a shift in the translational reading frame. ... Instead of just changing one amino acid, frameshifts cause a change in all the amino acids in the rest of the gene

Answer:

Nitrogen is present in the atmosphere in a molecule form about 78 percent. This nitrogen comes to the earth with the water through rainfall. Some nitrogen fix by beneficial microorganisms such as Cyanobacteria and Azotobactor which are present in the roots of higher plants. These microorganisms convert nitrogen molecule into nitrates and used by the plants. There are some other microorganisms which again convert nitrate into nitrogen molecules, called denitrifying bacteria and nitrogen molecule goes to the atmosphere again and complete the cycle.

Describe the relationship between mutations, alleles, variation, natural selection, and chance.
Alona [7]

Natural selection is where positive traits survive more, allowing those to become more common. Mutation is where radioactivity changes genes in a random way. Natural selection allows positive mutation to become more common. Adaptation is where natural selection works for a species specifically more a new habitat.
