What's the most common type of mutation observed in living populations, and what impact does it have on natural selection?

1 answer:

5 0

The most common type of observed mutation is a neutral mutation. This mutation doesn't impact natural selection in any noticeable way since it doesn't impact the fit of that organism. Since neutral mutations convey no advantage, they generally must spread in a population through drift. Many also will disappear through drift.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

An allergic reaction

Explanation:

An allergic reaction occurs when our immune system misinterprets a harmless substance into a harmful antigen and initiate an over-expressed immune response against it. Some of these allergic substances are pollen, molds, insect stings, etc.

These allergens trigger the production of IgE antibodies in the body which interact with different cell and initiate the release of chemicals like histamine that cause symptoms of allergic reaction.

It can affect the nose, skin, lung, stomach lining, etc. Therefore the correct answer is an allergic reaction.
