A - tumor

B - a loss of amino acids

C - a lack of cell division

D - a reduction in chromosome number

Respuesta :

Answer: I think it’s A if not than b

Explanation:

Since the process apoptosis deals with Cells , only the likely to affected is cancer and mutations can cause a tumor but also it will be the lack of proteins which includes animo acids not sure tho .

Mutation is defined as the alteration of the genetic sequence of an organism due to environmental factors, replication errors, or adaptations.

The correct answer is:

Option A. Tumor

Mutation can lead to:

  • The mutation is the change in the genes, which can lead to disorders or any illness.

  • The functions of the body and other molecules can be altered, and therefore can be inherited from parent to offspring.  

  • Apoptosis is defined as the programmed death of the cells. During the replication, some cells have errors, therefore, they undergo apoptosis to prevent replication of errored genes.

  • Thus, the mutation in the gene controlling the apoptosis will eventually lead to uncontrolled growth of cells leading to tumors or cancer.

Therefore, option A is correct.
