Chromosomes contain genes, and genes determine an organism's characteristics. Sometimes mutations occur in which the sequence of nucleotides within a gene becomes altered. Which of the following describes how a gene mutation would most likely affect an organism? A.
It would cause different proteins to be produced during translation.
B.
It would cause the codons produced to be more or less than 3 nucletoides in length.
C.
It would cause the sugar-phosphate backbone of all of the organism's DNA to be modified.
D.
It would cause the wrong type of nucleic acid to be incorporated into the organism's genes.

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.

answer: andy garner, a 17-year-old who decided to become a human guinea pig in 1965 and go without sleep for 11 days. by the second day his eyes had already stopped focusing, and he lost the ability to identify objects by touch. by day three he was moody and uncoordinated and by the end he had trouble with short term memory and had even started hallucinating.

and a rare genetic mutation called fatal familial insomnia, where people can’t sleep at all, gets progressively worse over months or years and leads to dementia and death.

a devoted soccer fan died after staying awake 48 hours to watch the world cup, she said. ‘while his untimely death was due to a stroke, studies show chronically sleeping fewer than six hours a night increases stroke risk by 4 1/2 times compared with those getting a consistent seven to eight hours.'
