Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes. A gene mutation is defined as an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. This change can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. DNA consists of a polymer of nucleotides joined together. During protein synthesis, DNA is transcribed into RNA and then translated to produce proteins. Altering nucleotide sequences most often results in nonfunctioning proteins. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code that lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop the disease. Gene mutations can be generally categorized into two types: point mutations and base-pair insertions or deletions.
Reproductive strategy is described into r-selection strategy and K-selection strategy. When an organism reproduces slowly and has only one offspring each time it reproduces, this organism is classified as the K-selected organism. Examples of K-selected organisms are elephants and humans.
From smallest to largest. That will be
Cell; cheek cell
Tissue; hydra
Organ; heart
System; digestive system
Organism; lion
Tissue is a group of cells, an organ is a group of tissues, a system is a group of organs, an organism is a group of systems
Hope that helped. Have a nice day
Organization is not a characteristic of life
