Variations can be genetic or environmental, the traits are passed from one generation to other generation of snail is from from both parents to offspring and through the environment.

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Genetic variation in an organism is passed to the offspring by its parents.

environmental variation is the the result of different environment with which individual adapt.

Natural selection is a process in which a suitable trait which is well adapted to the environment is passed on tho future generations.

Genetic variation is the change in DNA or gene of the individual trait. The tree snails having different pattern in their shells is due to the habitat they are living in.

The snails which have well adapted to the environment are able to reproduce and pass on the traits to their progeny. The variation is due to the traits passed from parents through the environment also.

The mismatch repair system recognizes mismatched base pairs, removes a portion of the DNA strand containing the error, and then

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

It could lead to several later problems in the cell.

Explanation:

Removing a piece of DNA could severely affect the cell but it could also cause nothing. Depending on the part that is damaged, it could codify for a vital protein but it could also be an intron, which are pieces of DNA that don't codify for any protein. This has been recently researched and even though there are introns that could cause some serious trouble, most of them are an unknown matter to nowadays scientists. Anyway, a wrongly repaired sequence could end in a mutation that can potentially damage the cell and therefore the organism.
