Question

PLEASE HELP!!! A scientist concludes that genetic inheritance of a mutated (changed) gene, such as a gene change that creates different-colored organisms in a population, is more beneficial to an organism over time and contributes to biological fitness. Discuss why a scientist would make that claim.

Answer 1

When the organism inherits a mutated gene creating new colored organisms into the population, this can increase diversity. As more organisms inherit the same mutation, the population will become more variated, which can increase the organisms abilities to survive and adapt in a changing environment, and also improve the biological fitness of individuals; resulting in allowing more organisms to reproduce successfully.
