Mutations can be categorized based on the kind of effect they have on an organism. blue eyes in humans are a result of a mutation in the oca2 gene, which controls the production of the pigment melanin in the iris. this mutation is an example of a (beneficial, harmful, neutral) mutation. such mutations have (a positive, a negative, no) effect on an organism’s survival.

The First Blank Is Neutral. And the Second Blank is No.

When  you have a certain eye color it is a mutation period and the color of your iris wouldn't have an affect the way you See or wont make your any more superior to anyone else. It is simply a matter of heredity.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
