Answer:

The microorganism creates its own energy.

Explanation:

Based on the pattern of nutrition, a living organism can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms are those organisms capable of synthesizing its own food or energy source using light (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food, hence, they depend on other organisms for energy.

According to this question, a researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. For this claim to be true, this means that the microorganism must be capable of CREATING ITS OWN FOOD/ENERGY either by photosynthesis (light) or chemosynthesis (inorganic chemicals).

Changing one base in a gene could have the
saw5 [17]


answer: 2) sequence of building blocks of a protein found in a cell.

Just random FYI:

- it is a mutation, that is generally not looked upon as being severe or detrimental to the person

-by changing the base by either adding or deleting from a protein strand will cause the protein to be useless

-frameshift mutation deals with DNA sequence being shifted. For example: a DNA strand looks like a ladder. If one of the rungs on the ladders gets skipped and the next ladder rung gets the code that the previous rung should have gotten, then that is what a frameshift mutation is. Hopefully that makes sense. It's easier to explain if there was a picture.

there are other types of mutation but I won't get into them.


Hopefully this helped and good luck.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

C. It reduces the percentage of recombinats

Explanation:

When linkage between two genes increases, the chance of these two crossing over is reduced, because linkage keeps these particular genes together, unlike crossing voer which will mix them up.
