<span>The answer would be:
reduces water loss compared to other nitrogenous wastes, but requires more metabolic energy to produce

Nitrogen waste needs to be removed out of the body. There are a few ways to remove the nitrogen waste but it will vary in the amount of energy used. 
Uric acid is less soluble which makes it won't be secreted in urine, thus reducing the need to urinate and reduce water loss. But the production of uric acid need hydrolysis of ATP, so it needs more energy.
Fish will secrete the waste as ammonia which soluble in water but doesn't need ATP to synthesize.</span>

<h3>What is mutation?</h3>

A mutation is a change in the nucleic acid sequence of an organism's, virus's, or extrachromosomal DNA's genome. DNA or RNA can be found in the viral genome.

Environmental elements known as mutagens are what trigger mutations. Radiation, chemicals, and pathogenic agents are examples of mutagens. Mutations may occur naturally spontaneously.

Because it generates a new DNA sequence for a particular gene, the mutation is crucial in the initial stage of evolution because it results in the creation of a new allele. Through intragenic recombination, recombination can also produce a new DNA sequence (a new allele) for a particular gene.
