Chapter 18, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Horizontal gene transfer can be defined as the exchange of genetic contents between the unicellular and multi-cellular organisms that do not include the transmission of DNA from parent to offspring. This process is responsible for evolution by mixing the genetic material of two species.

a toxin. Which of the following statements is true?
A. There is a change in both the genotype and
phenotype.
B. There is a change in the genotype, not the
phenotype.

genotype.
D. There is no change in either the genotype or the
phenotype.

Are gene mutations caused by selective pressures in the environment? In other words, do gene mutations arise in an organism out of need or want?
Group of answer choices
