If a fish is able to breathe outside of water but does not reproduce, that trait (1 point)

Question

O will be inherited by other fish.
• is a disadvantageous mutation.
• will be acquired by other fish.
• does not impact evolution.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: is a disadvantageous mutation.

This is because the ability to breathe outside of water would not confer a reproductive advantage if the fish does not reproduce. Since the trait does not lead to reproduction, it cannot be passed on to future generations, and thus does not benefit the evolutionary process.
