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.

Answer:

Biased.

Explanation:

Anecdotal evidence is described as the evidence that is based entirely upon an individual's personal experiences or observations.

As per the question, a claim based on such evidence is most likely to be biased as anecdotal evidence is based on a limited selection of examples that either support or refute the claim but not supported by any scientific or statistical analysis. Due to this undue bias, anecdotal evidence is not considered reliable as it displays the personal opinion, feeling, or experience of an individual. Thus, it may be used to negate the general statements but not to support r substantiate a claim or argument.

Answer:

The leaves no longer have water, which means that there is little osmotic pressure which keeps it turgid.

Explanation:

The stem still contains water because of the capillary action that occurs. However, since there is no strong attraction, the water cannot be pulled to the leaves.
