Question

This table summarizes the four main types of biomolecules found in living organisms. Each biomolecule has a specific structure and function that plays a critical role in biological processes. Understanding these biomolecules is fundamental in the study of biology and life sciences. A mutation causes a defect in the nucleotides of an organism. Based on the table, which of the following processes would most likely be affected? (1 point) Responses Insulation and energy storage Insulation and energy storage Genetic information transmission Genetic information transmission Structural support and enzymatic activity Structural support and enzymatic activity Quick energy production Quick energy production Skip to navigation Item 1 , Fully Attempted.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided, a mutation affecting the nucleotides of an organism would most likely impact "Genetic information transmission." Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), which are essential for storing and transmitting genetic information. Therefore, any defect in the nucleotides would directly interfere with these processes, while the other options (insulation, energy storage, structural support, enzymatic activity, and quick energy production) are primarily related to other classes of biomolecules like lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
