Model and evidence: Before gene: G A T | Protein outcome: toxin-resistance protein does NOT block toxin well After gene: G G T | Protein outcome: toxin-resistance protein changes and blocks toxin better Evidence: When a toxin is present in the environment, organisms with the mutation survive; without the toxin, both types survive equally well. Which statement about mutation effects is correct based on the model and evidence?
