A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. This can be beneficial if the change gives a new function to or improves the function of that gene.
<span>The above is a definition. But one must really define "beneficial". Some regard it as beneficial if it helps the specific individual who has it. Others would think it beneficial if it produced some survival advantage that insured more descendents for that individual. </span>
<span>It is the difference between a mutation that allowed for greater athletic ability, but a decreased desire for offspring, versus a more moderate athletic enhancement, but a greater desire for offspring. </span>
<span>The small percentage of ways to improve an organism, versus the near infinite ways of harming the organism, mean that most mutations are not going to be beneficial. At best, they will be "inconsequential" - such as a new shade of eye color, or a mole on a section of your skin. </span>
The populist notion of "powers" that can come from mutations is wildly inaccurate. Even assuming a minor power like the ability to see infra red radiation would take thousands upon thousands of mutations over vast amounts of time. A mutation for blindness is far more likely.
<span>It should also be noted that the traditional model of evolutionary theory no longer applies to man. We don't allow changes in our environment, and without such changes, there is no need for one trait more than another to predominate. After all, it is irrelevent that a mutation might allow for greater speed in running, when everyone drives a car.</span>
The answer is (A) virus. In the medical field, it's considered non-living.
Hi there!
A nonrenewable resource is when you use something once, it cannot be used again, natural gases is an example.
Using this information, C. Coal is your answer.
Hope this helped! ♥♥

Answer:
a. the first methionine in eukaryotic translation contains a formyl group.
Explanation:
Protein synthesis begins when the initiator aminoacyl tRNA carrying the initiator amino acid joins the mRNA-small ribosomal subunit complex. Procaryotes and eucaryotes differ from each other in the identity of the first initiator amino acid. In both types of organisms, "AUG" serves as an initiation codon. However, procaryotes have formyl-methionine joined to the amino acid arm of the initiator tRNA while eucaryotic initiator tRNA carries methionine as the first amino acid to be added to the protein.
