Answer:
The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.
Explanation:
The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.
In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.
Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.

Answer: Option B
Explanation: The thin layer that forms the outer covering of the cell is known as the cell membrane. It is composed of the lipid bilayer which as embedded proteins.
This membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows only specific molecules to pass through them.
The main function of cell membrane is to protect the cell from the outer environment and by the invasion of harmful bacteria and viruses.
The scheme of modern taxonomy goes:
Life > Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species
So, a PHYLUM is made of several classes.
