this made me laugh
A) <u>Mutation</u> is the original source of variations for plants and other organisms which develops differences among their respective species
Explanation:
Genetic variation leads to the natural differences between each individual and among individuals of a species. The main cause for this variation is due to alleles that cause variations in the composition of genes or the DNA sequences.
A mutation is a genetic variation which leads to the creation of a new allele in a species population. Each variation in the DNA sequence leads to an allele formation and each allele leads to a difference in character or trait between individuals since they are the alternate version of the original genes.
Although genetic variations could be brought about by crossing over, random fertilization, or independent assortment; mutation is the original source because it provides the basic raw material for all the evolutionary changes.
Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.
