Answer:

A frameshift mutation.

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is when one adds an extra nucleotide to a series of nucleotides. This will mess up the order of the nucleotide, thus when it forms the codons, and eventually, the amino acids; all of the codons are wrong, thus all of the amino acids are wrong.

In this situation, an extra nucleotide is added to a sequence of DNA, this results in all of the other nucleotides getting pushed over by (1). Thus, all of the nucleotides form the wrong codons and the wrong amino acids. Therefore, a frameshift mutation has occured.

What is the charecteristics of an alveolus

Alla [95]

Each alveolus is cup-shaped with very thin walls.
It’s surrounded by networks of blood vessels called capillaries that also have thin walls.
The oxygen you breathe in diffuses through the alveoli and the capillaries into the blood.
The carbon dioxide you breathe out is diffused from the capillaries to the alveoli, up the bronchial tree and out your mouth.
The alveoli are just one cell in thickness, which allows the gas exchange of respiration to take place rapidly.

Hey there!

We are going to find out and learn which of the of the following options would match the word $\boxed{cytokinesis}$

One thing about the cytokineses is that they always finish there cell cycle.

So, based from the information, your correct answer would be completes the cell cycle.

<span> A. takes place in plant cells only

B. completes the cell cycle

C. organizes DNA

D. occurs during </span>pro phase

Your correct answer is $\boxed{\boxed{completes \ the \ cell \ cycle}}$

Hope this helps.
