Answer: The give alter initial amino acid sequence.

Explanation:

Mutation is sudden heritable change in DNA sequence it can be inherited from parents by offspring. When mutation affects DNA sequence it could bring about deletion of important base sequence, insertion of new base sequence or frameshift leading to formation of entirely new base sequence and amino acid. This new sequence is a mutation and it could give rise to abnormalities in the body system. Evolutionary changes is as a result of accumulation of mutations, aneamia is also an example of mutation in human.

Flock X Flock Y Flock Z Total Pieces of Food Eaten 57 153 90 Food Percentage* % % % Simulated Number of Birds in Flock for 2nd G

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: The percentage would be 19%, 51% and 30%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of food eaten by X = 57

Number of food eaten by Y = 153

Number of food eaten by Z = 90

Total number of food eaten = $57+153+90=300$

So, Food percentage of flock X = $\dfrac{57}{300}\times 100=19\%$

Food percentage of flock Y = $\dfrac{153}{300}\times 100=51\%$

Food percentage of flock Z = $\dfrac{90}{300}\times 100=30\%$

Hence, the percentage would be 19%, 51% and 30%.
