Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

As noted from the explanation given above...in the process of development in males, the sperm cells always undergo many mitotic cellular division throughout their life increasimg the males' chances of undergoing spontaneous mutations as compared to the females during development where it gets to a certain point in their lives where they stop producing egg cells after the once division.

Thus, the continuous divisions undergone by the sperm cells acquire more spontaneous mutations on the cell that produces this lycantrophy trait.

What compounds are the building blocks of DNA macromolecules? monosaccharides peptides fatty acids nucleotides
disa [49]

The right option is; nucleotides

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA macromolecules.

Nucleotides are the building blocks (monomers) that make up a DNA molecule. Each nucleotide that constitutes DNA has three components which are; a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. Nucleotides perform several important roles in the cell. They transfer chemical energy to cellular functions that require energy such as in proteins synthesis, and in the movement of the cell. Nucleotides are also involved in cell signaling.
