Problem:OPTIONS:
- arbitrary mutations
- sight mutations
- cancerous mutations
- nonsense mutations

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   These mutations may result in a protein with the same function, with altered function, or with no function. Silent mutations , as they code for the same amino acid, will have no altered effect on the protein. Missense mutations may have a minor effect or a dramatic effect on the protein. Nonsense mutations usually have the most dramatic effet. Depending on the position of the premature stop codon, nonsense mutations may result in an unstable mRNA that cannot be translated, or in a truncated mRNA and a much "smaller" protein without any significant activity.   Q: Which kind of mutations have the most dramatic effect on proteins?   A:
****
A: nonsense mutations

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Generators may produce either alternating or direct current, but they all change kinetic energy to electrical energy.   Q: Generators usually transform kinetic energy into what kind of energy?   A:
OPTIONS:
- subsequent energy
- potential energy
- nuclear energy
- electrical energy
electrical energy

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Some insects use siphoning, as if sucking through a straw, like moths and butterflies. This long mouth-tube that they use to suck up the nectar of the flower is called a proboscis . Some moths, however, have no mouthparts at all. Some insects obtain food by sponging , like the housefly. Sponging means that the mouthpart can absorb liquid food and send it to the esophagus. The housefly is able to eat solid food by releasing saliva and dabbing it over the food. As the saliva dissolves the food, the sponging mouthpart absorbs the liquid food.   Q: The long mouth-tube that some insects  use to suck up the nectar of the flower is called what?   A:
OPTIONS:
- stamen
- prosthesis
- pistil
- proboscis

Answer: proboscis

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   The elements in Group 2 (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium) are called the alkaline earth metals (see Figure below ). These elements have two valence electrons, both of which reside in the outermost s sublevel. The general electron configuration of all alkaline earth metals is n s 2 . The alkaline earth metals are still too reactive to exist in nature as free elements, but they are less reactive than the alkali metals. They tend to be harder, stronger, and denser than the alkali metals, and they also form numerous compounds with nonmetals.   Q: The elements in group 2 are called what?   A:
OPTIONS:
- halogens
- metal alloys
- noble gases
- alkaline earth metals
output:

assistant: alkaline earth metals
