A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.

Explanation:

The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.

Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.

It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Sample A

T= 21.3% and A= 21.3%

G=28.7% and C= 28.7%

SAMPLE B

T=28.7% and  A= 28.7%

G= 21.3% and C= 21.3%

Sample A would have higher melting temperature

Explanation:

According to given information, sample A contains 21.3% thymine.

Percentage of adenine in sample A= 21.3% (Since adenine base pairs with thymine, so, adenine and thymine are present in equal amount in a double stranded DNA)

Total of A+T in sample A= 21.3 + 21.3 = 42.6%

G+ C content of sample A= 100-42.6= 57.4%

Percent G content of sample A = 57.4/2 = 28.7%

Percent C content of sample A = 28.7%

SAMPLE B:

According to the given information, sample B contains 28.7% thymine.

Therefore, percent of Adenine base in sample B= 28.7%

Total of A+T content in sample B= 28.7 + 28.7 = 57.4%

G + C content of the sample B = 100-57.4= 42.6%

Percent G content of the sample B= 42.6/2= 21.3%

Percent C content of sample B = 21.3%

There are three hydrogen bonds between a GC pair while there are only two hydrogen bonds between AT pair. The DNA content with higher GC content has higher melting temperature. Therefore, sample A would have higher melting temperature.
