This is a random error/change in the DNA sequence. These may be inherited or occur in cells during the lifetime of the organism.
dusya [7]

This is the definition of a DNA mutation.

Depending on which part of the genome is affected, the consequences of a mutation may vary. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is transmitted to the next generation (see germinal mutations). It is one of the elements of biodiversity and one of the many factors that may be involved in the evolution of the species.

Write the chemical symbols for three different atomic cations that all have 14 protons
yuradex [85]

The symbols for three different cations with 14 protons are Si²⁺, Si⁴⁺, and Si³⁺.

An element with 14 protons must be <em>silicon, S</em>i.

Its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s²3p², so it could lose up to four valence electrons.

The most likely cations are Si²⁺, Si⁴⁺, and Si³⁺ (or Si⁺).
