1. which of the two types of mutation (gene mutation or structural mutation) would likely persist in the population? Explain. 2. how does a loss or excess in genetic material leads to the expression of an abnormal phenotype?
Added by John P.
Step 1
Both gene mutations and structural mutations can persist in a population, but the likelihood of persistence depends on several factors. If a mutation is beneficial or neutral, it is more likely to persist. If it is harmful, it may be eliminated through natural Show more…
