What is this phenomenon called and what affect does this mutation have on
GGG and GGC are codons for the amino acid, glycine. A mutation caused the insertion of a cytosine in place of the guanine during DNA replication. Over many generations the DNA changes so that the frequency of GGC is similar to that of GGG.
A. directional selection; that has resulted in genetic uniformity in the species.
B. a bottleneck effect; decreases the number alleles in the population.
C. stabilizing selection; that reduced genetic diversity within the species.
D. adaptive variation; resulting in reduced genetic diversity in females because the GGC coded for bright feather color instead of the mottled brown feather color coded for by GGG.
E. neutral variation; the change in genetic code does not cause a change in phenotype therefore there is no change in reproductive success. This mutation then does not affect the population.
