Answer:

Framshift mutation

Explanation:

The frame shift mutation is also known as reading frame shift or framing error mutation, during which an insertion or deletion occurs at a single position but it effects the sequence of whole gene in such a way that complete sequence is disturbed.

If we look at the sequence given in example:

Wild sequence: the big red fly had one eye

Mutant:               the fbi gre dfl yha don eey

An insertion mutation occured at the start of sequence big, where f got inserted. We know that a 3 set of nucleotides called codon is transcribed and translated into single amino acid of protein. So when f got added it disturbed the frame and all the sequences of next codons got altered.

  • big  changed to fbi
  • red changed to gre
  • fly changed to dfl
  • had changed to yha

In short the ehole protein will have wrong sequence of amino acid and it is worst type of mutation that badly effects an organism.

Hope it help!

Each of the following statements concerning hair is true except
Levart [38]

Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.

Explanation:

Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells.  Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".

The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.

Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).

Scalp hair growth stops because of  follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.

Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".
