d. AAU CCG CAU UGG A

Explanation:

A mutation is any change or alteration to the sequence of a gene. There are, however, different types of mutation depending on how it occurs in the gene. One of these types is INSERTION MUTATION as mentioned in this question. Insertion mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is added to the sequence, hence, changing the reading frame of the original sequence.

In this question, the original mRNA sequence is given as: AAU CCG CAU GGA.

An insertion mutation will cause nucleotide base(s) to be added to this sequence, which will be noticed by an increase in number of bases in the sequence.

The correct answer is: AAU CCG CAU UGG A. In this mutated sequence, nucleotide "U" has been added to the sequence.

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of the sample by estimating the amount of carbon 14 present in the sample and then comparing it with a reference standard.carbon 14 is a isotope of carbon which is radioactive and unstable. carbon 14 is assimilated by all plants and animals throughout their life from carbon dioxide. however, one the organisms die they stop this assimilation and the carbon 14 content starts to decrease.by knowing how much of carbon 14 is left in an organism after his death, one can estimate the age of the organism. the materials whose age can be estimated by carbon 14 method are the organic compounds. however, some inorganic compounds such as aragonite shell can also be dated.however, if we consider the igneous rocks it is a non living component which never accumulated carbon 14 in it and thus, we cannot use carbon 14 dating method to estimate its age.
