In a population of fruit flies grown in laboratory conditions, a new phenotype arises. Instead of the typical red eyes, a purple-eyed
individual is seen. This individual survives to adulthood and is able to mate with other flies. Two students studying the fruit fly
population discuss the origin of the purple-eyed fruit fly. One student insists that the fly came from outside of the original fruit fly
population. The other student claims that the fly originated from within the laboratory fruit fly population. Which statements defend
the claim of student two that the new phenotype originated from within the fruit fly population?

Answer:

Chromosomal changes occur, Induced mutations occur, and Viable errors in DNA

Explanation: I just took it :)

Viable errors in DNA replication, induced mutations and chromosomal changes occur in s exual reproduction would result in new phenotype.

What is DNA replication?

  • "DNA replication is the process by which the genome's DNA is copied in cells."
  • Any change in DNA replication would result in changes in gene as well.

What do you mean by mutation?

  • "A mutation is an alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism."
  • It results in absence or appearance of new traits.

What is chromosomal changes?

  • "Chromosomal change is a deviation from the normal gene copy number, potentially leading to increased or decreased expression of genes."

What do you mean by phenotype?

  • The observable characteristics or trails are called phenotype.

Hence, the option B, D and E claims that the fly originated from within the laboratory fruit fly population.
