Many plants (and some animals) have defensive chemicals to protect themselves from predation. How did these compounds evolve? Choose All That Apply there was a mutation in an existing gene that resulted in a new enzyme function Oa different (or slightly altered) compound was made that was slightly toxic to other organisms O plants/animals with the toxic compound were eaten less O there was a mutation in a gene as a result of the plant/animal being eaten O presence of the toxic compound reduced the fitness of the plant/animal U the gene that codes for the enzyme that produces the toxic compound became more prevalent
