A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.
Explanation:
The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.
Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.
It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.
This means that the genotype has both alleles of the gene hence referred to as heterozygous. The dominant of the two alleles is the one that is expressed in the phenotype of the individual expressing the genotype. The effects of the recessive allele are masked by the dominant allele.
if ur makin a cake for instance and it calls for on tbs of salt and u add 5 cups that will be delicious right lol no i think it matter coz u need to put the right amount or it might turn out nastyyyyyyy
or it might have a chemical reaction that can affect how it cooks
