The right answer is A mutation.
Alteration of the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of a cell or virus that causes a change in certain traits due to the inheritance of this genetic material from generation to generation.
Abnormal modification of the DNA of a gene, either spontaneously during cell division, or under the influence of external agents called mutagens. This gene is modified to be transmitted to the daughter cells. Some mutations have no effect on the cell. Others are the first step in a long process of cancerization.
Rare are the mutations that are beneficial.
A marine biologist is examining the effects of oil pollution on a population of birds known as seagulls (Larus canus). She is particularly concerned that oil pollution may reduce the number of eggs raised in a seagull nest. During one breeding season, she counted the number of eggs present in a sampling of six seagull nests near each of the 14 refineries throughout the state. She discovered that seagulls laid and raised an average of four eggs per season. To confirm her hypothesis, the researcher must now examine seagull nests that have not been exposed to oil pollution. The researcher believes she is correct, and so expects to find D) 4-6 eggs per nest.

Answer:
chemical energy
Explanation:
During photosynthesis, “producers” like green plants, algae and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy. Photosynthesis produces chemical energy in the form of glucose, a carbohydrate or sugar
Answer:
Cells
Explanation:
Cells are the smallest living unit, but atoms are the smallest unit of the above choices... Cells are made of atoms... But you asked about the Smallest unit of life so I don't know if you are asking about the smallest unit ever or the smallest unit in the living things
