Yes, beetles can adapt to almost any environment. they are usually found where they eat, and some species help get rid of garbage, dead plants and even help pollenate flowers. however red beetles feed off of lily’s(i think?), so they feed off of those flowers and if you see them your lilies may be at risk.
Dog breeding is an example of Associative mating.
Answer:
A point mutation in the 1st base of a codon
Explanation:
A point mutations are mutations of one base in the DNA sequence. The effects of point mutations might be harmful, beneficial or neutral.
Deletion mutations are frameshift mutation, because they change the reading frame and thus affect the sequence of amino acids produced. Usually, protein changes its structure and function and become useless.
Point mutations at 2nd base of codon are misssense mutations, meaning that the new amino acid is produced, but it can be amino acid with similar properties. That will not affect the function of the protein a lot.
3rd base of a codon are often silent mutations, which means that the sam amino acid is produced (multiple codons can code for the same amino acid).
