Answer:

base pair deletion

Explanation:

<em>The type of mutation that occurred would be base pair deletion.</em>

Base pair deletion mutation is a type of mutation involving the deletion of one or more nucleotide bases from a DNA/gene. This causes a reduction in the base pairs and shortens the length of the DNA/gene

<u>For example, if the first codon of a gene with base sequence 'AGGGCTACG' is deleted, the gene becomes shortened with a new base sequence of 'GCTACG'. Thus, the mutated gene would have a shorter base pair when compared to its wild-type counterpart.</u>

Sperm tails in the fruit fly Drosophila bifurca can reach up to 6cm long, which is over 20 times the length of the organism itse
spayn [35]

Explanation:

The length of the sperm in a few species is much larger or giant than the size of the animal-like observed in the <em>Drosophila bifurca. </em>

In this fruit-fly, the tails of the sperm are too long which could be accounted for many reasons:

1. The sexual selection prefers the long tails over the small tail.

2. The large sperms can displace the small sperms in the female reproductive organ.

3. The female reproductive organ increases the promiscuity of the large sperms that is favour the large sperms over the small sperms.
