Answer:

Rabbit's offspring will die due to this mutation.

Explanation:

Mutations occur in sex cells or germ line cells are heritable and known as germline mutations. Sex cells produce gametes (sperm and ovum) and hence, mutation in these pass to the offspring.  When either a mutated ovum or sperm come together to form a single-cell zygote, each cell in developing zygote has that mutation.  

Thus, if a mutation affects the protein required for heart muscle in an adult rabbit, it will be pass to his offspring. The offspring will not be able to make functional proteins to build heart muscles and will die as heart is a vital organ.

slava [35]

Answer:

c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Explanation:

Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue  and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
