A scientist is curious about the effects of diet on the gut length of spadefoot toad tadpoles.  She collects tadpoles from pools and dissects them to determine the length of their gut and their diet.   She finds that tadpoles with longer guts have a diet that is mostly algae.  What is a possible/likely implication of this finding? Group of answer choices A. diet affects gene expression B. they should make a movie about this scientist C. algae changes DNA sequences of genes D. there is a higher mutation rate among algae eaters E. tadpole form is not affected by genes
