GAU to GAC is least likely to change phenotype of an organism.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Phenotype of an organism is defined as the physical characteristics of an organism. This phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the organisms. This means the phenotypic characters are actually the expressions of the genes of the organisms. Now the genes are expressed in form of codons that are the three nitrogen base sequences. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid which in turn polymerises to from the protein which actually forms the phenotype of the organism.
Now there are 20 amino acids and 64 codons. Thus there are more than 1 codons for a single amino acid. So, if a codon is replaced by another codon which codes for same amino acid, then the phenotype is least likely to be affected.
Both the GAU and GAC codes for aspartic acid. So the phenotype won't be affected much by this mutation

Answer:
A: Suited for their environment
Explanation:
You can automatically eliminate B and C, since they both say that animals with adaptations that won't work with their environment would have a higher survival rate. This doesn't make sense; adaptations that wouldn't suit an environment would actually lower the population's chances of reproduction and survival.
That leads us to A and D. However, A would be the correct answer. Organisms with adaptations that suited their environment would help them (since it would make the organism more compatible with their environment), rather than having no change at all.
