A student wants to know the effect a mutation might have on a species’ survival. The change causes a rabbit to have mottled (spotted) brown fur. The student runs a computer simulation for ten generations. What possible conclusions can you draw? Choose ALL that apply. Question 2 options:

Evolution occurred because the allele frequency changed over time.

Evolution is not occurring, mutation just introduced a new trait in the gene pool.

The rabbits with mottled brown fur have a selective advantage that gives them more camouflage from predators.

The mottled brown fur mutation is neutral because the other fur color traits still appear in the rabbit population.

The mutation had a positive effect, allowing those rabbits with the mottled brown fur to survive and reproduce better than those with the brown or white fur.

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.
