Cindy Farley · Answer 1

I believe the answer is d. Different organisms have DNA nucleotide bases in a different order. The change in the pattern of each DNA affects the body structures of the mosquito. Similarly, this applies to all organisms which make the different traits from each other.

Cesar Lynch · Answer 2

The correct option is C.

The DNA molecule is made up of four different types of nucleotide bases, these are: thymine, cytosine, guanine and adenine. The arrangement of these nucleotide bases in DNA affect the genetic traits that are eventually formed. The differences that are observed in different individuals is as a result of the different ways in which the nucleotide bases are arranged in DNA molecules.
