Visual representation of the concept of inheritable genetic variation and mutations. Depict a colorful DNA double helix with signs of mutation and variation. Display imagery of bedrock processes such as transcription and protein synthesis, showing how these might be altered by the presence of mutations. The image should be scientifically accurate yet visually appealing, showing biological processes at the microscopic level. For example, you could include scenes of nucleotides being aligned in DNA structure. Remember, no text should be included in the image.

Which evidence best supports the claim that mutations are a source of inheritable genetic variation?

(1 point)

Mutations can only happen during meiosis because genes are inherited.

Mutations are not inheritable from gametes because they are given from each parent.

Mutations affect the way DNA is created through transcription.

Mutations affect protein synthesis which impacts the way traits are expressed.

1. A. Mutations affect protein synthesis which impacts the way traits are expressed.

2. A. substitution
3. A. substitution
4. D. food availability
5. C. two nucleotides are deleted

Mutations affect protein synthesis which impacts the way traits are expressed

The rest of the answers are:
-substitution
-substitution
-The long-term radiation exposure damaged bonds in DNA causing mutations in her egg cells, and led to an inheritable genetic disorder.
-two nucleotides are deleted.

100% i got it right

A. Is 100% correct

J is correct! Thank you! Though, never trust the letter answers. The letters are different for everyone.

1) Mutations affect protein synthesis which impacts the way traits are expressed.
2) substitution
3) substitution
4) food availability
5) two nucleotides are deleted

J was right 100%

thank you!

uhh- I don't get the answers, where did you get substitution? I'm on the exact same quick check as the original person's question.
