Question

which of the following is true about mutations: o all species can select which traits and genes will mutate o mutations are selective and common events that can be advantages, disadvantages, or neutral depending on selection pressures o mutations are random and rare events that can be advantages, disadvantages, or neutral depending on selection pressures o some species can select which traits and genes will mutate

Explanation:

Mutations are random changes in DNA. They are relatively rare. Their impact (advantageous, disadvantageous, or neutral) depends on the environmental selection pressures. Organisms cannot choose which genes mutate.

Answer:

C. mutations are random and rare events that can be advantages, disadvantages, or neutral depending on selection pressures
