Answer:

Moose is the largest and heaviest species of deer found in mainly Alaska, Canada, some parts of the United States. They are herbivores and feed on leaves, grass, bark, shrubs, and fruits.

Aquatic plants are a great source of protein and salt which is not found in an appropriate amount in leaves of trees but it is important for moss for its growth, therefore, aquatic plants are one of the essential parts of moose diet.

Aquatic plants also have minerals like iron, phosphorus, sulfur, iron, calcium and it also contains crude fibers that attract moose because of its rich nutritional quality.  

Therefore to obtain salt and these variety of nutrients moose spend some time eating aquatic plants which are not present in leaves of deciduous trees.

The McDonald Kreitman tests of genes in the human and chimpanzee genomes showed many with an excess of nonsynonymous variation w
kondaur [170]

Answer:

A mutation may be bad and good depending on the particular environmental conditions

Explanation:

For example, the falciform anemia is a hereditary disease caused by a mutation where the ability to transport oxygen of red blood cells is reduced; however, this genetic disorder is widespread in some African populations because it is a condition that confers resistance to falciparum malaria. In consequence, falciform anemia is a detrimental mutation that may also be beneficial in endemic malaria regions.

Moreover, it is important to note that the higher proportion of non-synonymous substitutions are not subject to selection (only a minor percentage are positively selected) because they are generally localized within non-coding regions, thereby having neutral status.
