Question

In some species of plants, mutations can cause a plant to have different patterns on their leaves, such as gold edges or whitestripes. Plants with different patterns grow to the same size and produce offspring with similar patterns. However, these plants canhave high mutation rates. As a result, a group of related plants can exhibit many patterns.Which of the following statements does this example support?OA. A mutation that is not helpful to an organism's survival will not be passed on.OB. A mutation that has neutral effects on an organism's survival can be passed on to offspring.OC. Organisms increase their rate of mutations to add genetic variation to their species.OD. Organisms choose not to produce proteins from harmful mutations.ResetSubmit

Answer 1

We have to consider that not all inherited mutations are bad for us, as we can see in the example of the exercise. The statement that better describe this condition is the second one, the B option: "a mutation that has neutral effects on an organism's survival
