B. I think I'm not so sure but that's my best guess.
Answer:
The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.
Explanation:
- Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
- A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
- This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
- The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
- Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
- The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
- However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
- This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
- In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
- This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
Eukaryotic transcripts (mRNA) have to undergo capping and splicing before it can be translated.
<h3>RNA processing:</h3>
1. An RNA transcript is first produced in a eukaryotic cell as a pre-mRNA, which needs to be converted into a messenger RNA (mRNA).
2. The RNA transcript is given a 5' cap at the start and a 3' poly-A tail at the end.
3. The process of splicing involves cutting out some RNA transcript segments (introns), then joining the remaining segments (exons) back together.
4. Some genes have the ability to alternate splices, which produces various mature mRNA molecules from the same beginning transcript.
The introns not only do not contain the information necessary to construct a protein, but they also need to be cut off in order for the mRNA to create a protein with the correct sequence. An mRNA with extra "junk" in it will be created if the spliceosome fails to remove an intron, and the translation process will result in the production of the incorrect protein.

Answer:
2.They exhibit cell specialization.
Explanation:
A protist is an eukaryotic organism that can either be unicellular or multicellular. In the multicellular protist i.e. many cells, different types of cells are needed to bring about the organism's life processes. The different types of cells perform a specific different function in the organism.
The way that an organism makes it cells specialized to perform different functions is called Cell Specialization or differentiation. All multicellular organism, including a multicellular protist, contain many cells that have been specialized to perform different functions. Hence, the many cells of a multicellular protist will exhibit specialization in order to perform varying functions in the organism.
An organism that eats other organisms is called a <u><em>heterotroph</em></u>.
