Because they create multiple alleles, mutations can cause D. variations in traits.

<h2>Gene mutations and evolution</h2>

The production of mutations in DNA molecules is known as mutagenesis. Changes in DNA sequence or chromosome rearrangement are just two examples of mutations that can occur in DNA. These mutations can happen on their own, as a result of mistakes made during DNA replication or mitosis. Natural selection requires genetic variety, which is produced by spontaneous mutations.

The process by which populations of organisms change over generations is known as evolution. These modifications are caused by genetic differences. Different features in an organism can be introduced by genetic differences that modify gene activity or protein function. If a characteristic is beneficial and helps an individual survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be handed down to the following generation (a process known as natural selection).

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
erik [133]
Hey,

I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.

Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.

Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.

Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.

Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.

Hope this helps!
