Answer:
B. a mutation to the mRNA transcribed from it
NO ALL INSECTS ARE NOT HARMFUL
Not all bugs are bad. Insects get labeled as "pests" when they start causing harm to people or the things we care about, like plants, animals, and buildings. Out of nearly one million known insect species, only about one to three percent are ever considered pests.

Answer:The ocean is constantly in motion, moving water from place to place via currents. The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico all the way up to the Norwegian Sea. As the warm water comes in, colder, denser water sinks and begins moving south—eventually flowing along the bottom of the ocean all the way to Antarctica.

Answer:
1. why: to protect the organism against pathogenic infections
2. how: by using genome engineering techniques. For example, by using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system in order to enlarge telomeres and thus avoid the negative effects of aging (i.e., tissue/organ atrophy).
Explanation:
The thymus plays a central role in immunity since in this organ thymus cell lymphocytes (T cells) mature into immunocompetent T-cells that initiate immune responses against pathogenic infections. Moreover, a particular type of B lymphocytes known as thymic B cells also resides at the thymus. It has been proposed that thymic B cells might be involved in the negative selection of T cells. Thus, the thymus plays a critical role in protecting the organism from infections, thereby it would be imperative to avoid thymus atrophy if human life is expanded. Nowadays, we know that telomere length shortens with age, thereby it is expected that genome engineering techniques capable of restoring telomere length might eventually avoid age effects such as, in this case, thymus atrophy. In this regard, the CRISPR-Cas 9 system is a versatile low-cost genome engineering tool that might be used for the addition of nucleotides at telomere ends.
