Answer:

A. It loses an electron

Explanation:

An atom becomes a positive ion when it loses an electron (then there are more protons than electrons in the atom) when it is trying to reach stability. This is called a Cation. The opposite of this is an Anion, when an atom gains an electron to reach stability and becomes a negative ion (because the number of electrons are higher than the number of protons).

Need help with the following questions
worty [1.4K]
MRNA: AUG AAU UUA GCG ACA
polypeptides: Met or start, Aan, Leu, Ala, Thr
1. The type of mutation that occurred in this strand of DNA is deletion. This may have happened because a small part of the DNA sequence was lost when broken ends were rejoined when the DNA was being repaired. 
2. It is not likely that these mutated genes could produce a working protein because the polypeptides were completely changed, which would cause the protein to not work properly.
3. When a seed first absorbs water, it begins to grow. The mutation could cause the plant to be unable to absorb water. Therefore, the plant would be unable to germinate.
