They occur to cause adaptive changes in response to the environment.b. They are usually either harmful or neutral.c. They are only inherited if they occur in a sperm or egg cell.d. They often occur when DNA is copied.arrow_forward
- Are gene mutations caused by selective pressures in the environment? In other words, do gene mutations arise in an organism out of need or want? Group of answer choices A. No, because gene mutations are not purely random. B. Yes, because gene mutations are not purely random. C. No, because gene mutations are purely random. D. Yes, because gene mutations are purely random.arrow_forwardWhat will a hypothesis become if it is supported by repeated experimentation?arrow_forwardThere are a number of evolutionary hypotheses that researchers have developed to better understand the high prevalence of complex diseases like type 2 diabetes and obesity across populations today. The best explanation for this high prevalence of complex diseases is: a. Neel's hypothesis b. Speakman's hypothesis c. Meyer’s gene hypothesis d. Thrifty gene hypothesis e. Drifty gene hypothesisarrow_forward

Is there variation in this trait in the population? How exactly does it vary? Is the trait at least partly inherited? Is there selection for this trait in a particular environment? (What is the selective pressure? And how does a trait give an advantage or disadvantage in that environment?) What is the evidence that this trait makes organisms better adapted to their environment?arrow_forwardANSWER 1.
