A student reads that deer mice that migrated to the hills of Nebraska originally had dark colored
coats. Over many years, due to a mutation, the coat color of the mice changed to a lighter color to
blend in easily with the sand. Which argument summarizes the mutation in deer mice?
a) It is a harmful mutation as it caused a change in the original coat color of mice.
b) It is a beneficial mutation as it helped the mice survive in their new surroundings.
C) It is a neutral mutation as the change in coat color did not affect any body functions in the
mice, and only helped the survival of the deer mice living in Nebraska.
d) It is a neutral mutation as only the deer mice living in Nebraska were affected, and all other
populations were unaffected.

The argument which summarizes the mutation in deer mice is  It is a beneficial mutation as it helped the mice survive in their new surroundings.

A mutation is a change to an organism's DNA sequence. Errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens, or viral infection can all cause mutations. Somatic mutations (which happen in body cells) cannot be passed on to offspring, whereas germline mutations (which happen in eggs and sperm) can.

Our cells are constantly undergoing mutations, yet very few of these have any negative effects on our health. Compared to what we typically see in science fiction movies, this is completely different.

A mutation is never so advantageous in real life that it makes someone a superhero or does anything strange like give them wings.

Therefore, The argument which summarizes the mutation in deer mice is  It is a beneficial mutation as it helped the mice survive in their new surroundings.

A mutation in the code for a trait may not always change the expression of that trait. What advantage does this provide cells?
1)Ribosomes can produce proteins more quickly.
2)Cells only need to make a limited number of proteins.
3)Proteins can switch tasks without a change in the DNA sequence.
4)Some changes in the DNA sequence will produce the same proteins.

QUICK ASAP PLS Certain bacteria live and grow on the roots of some plants and produce chemicals that are beneficial to the plants. Which of the following observations best supports the claim that this relationship is beneficial to the plants?



Group of answer choices

Plants with a higher amount of the bacteria on their roots have increased rates of survival and reproduction.

When the bacteria are removed from the plant roots and are grown in a laboratory setting, they fail to survive.

The population size of the bacteria varies greatly depending on the chemistry of the soil and the type of the plant.

The chemical produced by the bacteria can be created by humans and added to the soil where it reaches the roots of the plant.
