The answer would be D.

The mutation would cause a(in most cases) new and different polypeptide(protein) to be made so it can cause a different trait. For example a new eye color in fruit fly with mutated dna.

Answer: D. The mutated gene codes for a protein that causes a new trait

Explanation:

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can occur from multiple causes. For example, by errors during replication or by the action of mutagens such as UV radiation, among others. When a mutation occurs, if not repaired, it can lead to the production of a different protein. This is because genes code for amino acids, which bonded together form proteins. <u>A change in a DNA gene base can lead to code for a different amino acid</u> (or even adding a new one or causing another to be lost). <u>This alteration can lead to the synthesis of another protein involved in the expression of a trait, and giving rise to a different characteristic</u>, which can be beneficial or harmful.

True or false the genotype of an organism constitutes its observable characteristics
iren2701 [21]
False

The genotype of an organism does not constitute its observable characteristics but rather its phenotype. A genotype of an organism is the genetic makeup of an organism while the phenotype is the visible characteristics.
It is, however, significant to understand that the phenotype of an organism is as a result of the interaction between the genotype and the environment.

Why are amphibians slimy
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Some frogs are slimy because they are covered in a mucous coating. This coating helps them keep their skin moist which helps them breathe through their skin. The mucous often contains other chemicals, like antibacterial or anti fungals to help protect the frog.

I hope this helps you
