It is the only individual in this population with this mutation, and it makes it very hard for it to eat the leaves so low to the ground. But suddenly there is a fire that burns all of the shrubs, so the only food source is now up in the low tree branches. How might this individual animal with the long-leg mutation affect the entire population? A. If If the the mutation mutation cannot cannot be be passed-passed-on, on, the the entire entire population population may may die.
B. Those Those animals animals with with short short legs legs will will not not survive survive to to pass pass their their traits traits to to the the next next generation.
C. The The animal animal with with the the mutation mutation for for long long legs legs will will be be more more likely likely to to survive survive to to pass pass those those traits traits on on to to its its offspring.
