If a mutation affects the mRNA, then the sequence of amino acids that it codes for may be incorrect, causing the protein produced by the amino acids to not function properly, or it may not function at all.

A eukaryotic cell that lacks mitochondria would be unable to carry out which essential function?

What would happen to a cell if it was placed into a solution that had higher concentration of salt then the cell?

When the cell was placed in the higher concentration of salt diffusion would make the concentrations inside the cell and outside the cell became equal, thus placing more salt in the cell. The cell would become crenated. The water would be pulled out and the cell become like a prune or raisin.

What functions would a cell be unable to carry out without a nucleus?

Without a nucleus, a cell would be unable to control its growth and reproduction, as the nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and orchestrates these processes. Additionally, the cell would lack the ability to make important proteins and enzymes needed for various functions, as protein synthesis occurs in the nucleus. Communication with other cells and maintaining internal balance would also be compromised without the nucleus regulating gene expression.
