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
The owl is a generalists creature/species because it is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet). A specialist species can only thrive in a narrow range of environmental conditions or has a limited diet. Most organisms do not all fit neatly into either group, however. Some species are highly specialized (the most extreme case being monophagy), others less so, while some can tolerate many different environments. In other words, there is a continuum from highly specialized to broadly generalist species.

Reproductive Method </h2>
Explanation:
<em>The rank in order from the most specific which is following .</em>
<em>(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism</em>
<em>(2) Sperm-egg incompatibility in sea urchins</em>
<em>(3) Gametic isolation </em>
<em>(4)Prezygotic isolating mechanism</em>
<em>(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism-</em> The components of regenerative confinement are an assortment of transformative instruments, practices and <em>physiological procedures basic for speciation.</em> They keep individuals from various species from delivering posterity, or guarantee that any posterity are sterile.
(<em>2) Sperm-egg contradiction in ocean urchins-</em> Bindin is a gamete acknowledgment protein known to control species-explicit <em>sperm-egg grip</em> and layer combination in ocean urchins.
<em>
(3)Gametic isolation - Prezygotic hindrances </em>keep preparation from occurring. Gametic disengagement is a sort of prezygotic hindrance where the<em> gametes (egg and sperm) </em>come into contact, yet no preparation happens. Gametes might be not able to remember each other in various species
<em>
(4) Prezygotic isolating mechanism- </em>while postzygotic segregation forestalls the arrangement of rich posterity. Prezygotic systems incorporate environment segregation, mating seasons, "mechanical" disconnection, gamete detachment and conduct seclusion.
