Which sequence represents the process by which snake venoms are most likely formed?

• protein molecules from prey are broken down and used to form sugars. Sugars form amino acids in the venom.
• sugar molecules from prey are broken down and used to form proteins. Proteins form amino acids in the venom.
• sugar molecules from prey are broken down and used to form amino acids. Amino acids form proteins in the venom.
• Protein molecules from prey are broken down and used to form amino acids. Amino acids form sugars in the venom.

A mutation present in a parent’s genetic code impacts offspring . Which statement most likely describes the mutation?

• The mutation can be recognized and repaired by enzymes .
• The mutation is observed in the somatic cells of the parent .
