Agenetic mutation causes a squirrel to be born with much darker fur than its parents. how will this mutation most likely affect the squirrel population? because the trait was caused by a mutation, it will not be passed on to any offspring, resulting in the disappearance of the trait. because the trait was caused by a mutation, it will be passed on to offspring over many generations, resulting in a population of darker squirrels. if the trait is unfavorable, it will be passed on to offspring over many generations, resulting in a population of darker squirrels. if the trait is favorable, it will be passed on to offspring over many generations, resulting in a population of darker squirrels.

The correct answer would be If the trait is favorable, it will be passed on to offspring over many generations, resulting in a population of darker squirrels.

Mutation refers to the sudden change in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA.

Few mutations are harmful while few mutations provide survival advantages to the organism.

The mutations which provide the survival or adaptive advantages are favored by natural selection and the organisms with these mutations tend to reproduce and survive more as compared to the organisms with no mutation.

Thus, if darker fur would beneficial to the squirrel, for example, if it would be hard for the predators to site the squirrel with darker fur, then they tend to survive more and the traits keep passing from one generation to the other.

explanation:

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
