Sexual reproduction enhances variability among offspring. The random alteration of DNA from parent to offspring, called mutations, also produces variable characteristics in offspring. Some mutations can be helpful, while others can be harmful and hinder survival. In this experiment, students mimicked random mutations. The mutations affected the organisms eyesight and appendages. Data was collected by the students to determine if the mutations were helpful or harmful when trying to collect and eat food. 26) Imagine that these animals lived in a coastal habitat. Due to global warming, sea level rose and the area was flooded. Assess the types of mutations to determine which group would MOST LIKELY be best adapted for this change in habitat.
