More details are required to answer the question.

The K-t boundary or the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary signifies the beginning of the Tertiary and the end of the Cretaceous; sixty-five million years ago. The boundary can be observed in various locations across the globe and is a relatively thin layer of dust sediments with an abnormally high amount of iridium.
Iridium is a rare earth element and is only found in large amounts in asteroids. This knowledge led scientists to conclude that the debris deposited was caused by a massive asteroid impact.
The impact crater was eventually located and was found just of the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. The asteroid was over ten miles in diameter and this impact was thought to be instrumental in the extinction of the dinosaurs.

What is the importance of neutral variation in evolution?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A trait that is neutral in one environment may be advantageous in another.

Explanation:

Neutral variation refers to the variation (either genetic or phenotypic variation) which is unaffected by natural selection. Neutral variation is known to increase genetic variation, which is a prerequisite to evolutionary change. An allele may be neutral in one environment and beneficial (or deleterious) in another. In consequence, neutral variation in one environment may increase the response to selection in different environmental conditions.

Why don't some mutations to a DNA sequence have a significant effect on pheonotypic expression? (2 points) A mutation may cause
Sav [38]
The first one: A mutation may cause a change that codes for the same amino acid. It is not possible (or likely) that the transcription will skip over the mutation. Mutations, especially large frameshifts, are important. It does not matter how much proteins are replicated. A mutation in the DNA sequence will affect the mRNA.
