Answer:

are the source of new genetic variation

Explanation:

The concept of mutation is related to the modification of genetic material. Any kind of change, be it in the organization or in number, will result in a new genotype and character.

The importance of mutation lies in the fact that it is precisely that that guarantees the modifications of species, since it is only through a mutation that new genes can emerge. This is why mutations are important and considered the basis for the evolution of species in all populations.

Explain why a person with an allele for a particular trait may not have a phenotype that shows that trait.
Readme [11.4K]
This is because maybe that allele for the trait is recessive and the person is heterozygous. 

If the person is heterozygous, it means that they have both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. And by dominant and recessive, if dominant allele exists, no matter if recessive allele exists or not, the characteristic controlled by the dominant allele must be shown. This is their phenotype, which is the observable characteristics. 

For example, there are 2 alleles for controlling the eye color. Brown allele is dominant, while blue is recessive. Just like the question above, if the person has an allele for blue eye color, but they have the brown color allele too, their phenotype would be brown eye color, as the brown color is dominant over blue eye color. This matches the requirements of having the allele for a particular trait but not showing the phenotype of that.
