Answer:
An alteration in DNA that occurs after conception. Somatic mutations can occur in any of the cells of the body except the germ cells (sperm and egg) and therefore are not passed on to children. These alterations can (but do not always) cause cancer or other diseases.
Explanation:
when a skin stem cell harbors a cancer-driving mutation, it becomes more likely to generate two specialized skin cells when it divides. Over time, the mutated skin stem cell fails to renew itself and turns into cells that eventually slough off, allowing the skin to expel mutated cells as needed.
Errors in DNA copying during cell division and development can cause new mutations — called de novo mutations — at any time from the moment of conception. Mutations that occur in the germ line — the cells that develop into sperm or eggs — can be passed on to the next generation and, perhaps, cause disease in children.
Organisms that are closely related have similar genes and proteins.
Human geography is the study of human influence by the earth or human activity that affects the Earth.
For example, human beings throwing trash in the oceans affects the Earth.
Best of Luck!

I hope this right, if its not, sorry =)
Answer:
Option (A).
Explanation:
Muscle contraction may be defined as the physiological process of the activation of tension generating sites that occur within the muscle fibers. Actin, myosin, troponin and other proteins are important for muscle contraction.
The calcium ion is important for the muscle contraction. The binding of calcium with troponin causes the movement of tropomyosin out of the grooves between the actin molecules during muscle contraction.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
