Answer:Mutations can affect the body by altering its physical characteristics (or phenotype), or they can affect how DNA (genotype) information is encoded on the organism.

Explanation: three ways a mutation can affect an organism:

Some mutations have no significant effect on the phenotype of the organism. This can happen in many situations: a mutation may occur in a non-functional DNA fragment, or a mutation may occur in the protein encoding region, but ultimately does not affect the sequence of protein amino acids.

Answer:

The findings demonstrates an optimal foraging hypothesis based on maximizing caloric intake alone is probably incorrect in this case.

Explanation:

This example can also be explained by optimal foraging theory which helps in predicting the behavior of an animal which it is searching for food. Food provides energy to the animal but searching and capturing the food requires both energy and time.

So in order to maximize fitness , an animal adopts a foraging strategy which provides the most benefit which in this case is energy, for the lower cost and by maximizing the net energy gained.
