Which statement best describes balancing equations and the law of conservation of mass?
a. There are more atoms in the reactants than in the products, and the total mass is the same in the reactants and in the
products
b. The number of atoms is the same in the reactants and in the products, and the total mass is the same in the reactants and
in the products
c. There are fewer atoms in the reactants than in the products, and the total mass is less in the reactants than in the
products
d. There are more atoms in the reactants than in the products, and the total mass is higher in the reactants than in the
products

explanation:

the sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its function. the dna sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. thus, any changes in dna sequence can result in changes in protein function. this is called a mutation.

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c
