Answer:

An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. Without mutation, evolution could not occur.

The theory of organic evolution, developed by Charles Darwin in the mid-1800s, revolutionized taxonomy. Thus, modern taxonomists who study plants or animals do not merely name and catalog species, they also try to construct evolutionary trees showing the relationships of different species

dusya [7]

Answer:

no, because it would have to be a perfect process, and changing would end in a mistake.

Explanation:

(detail) It would be unlikely, because a frameshift mutation shifts every nucleotide down one, so several amino acids in the protein are likely to be changed. However, if a frameshift mutation occurred near the end of the DNA sequence, the protein could have minimal changes to its structure and function.
