A researcher found that the wild species of almond trees contains a chemical called amygdalin.
This chemical is converted into cyanide inside the human body and can be lethal. The researcher
found that a single gene mutation in some of the wild almond trees resulted in a variety that no
longer produced the chemical amygdalin. This variety of almond is largely harvested for human
consumption. Based on the study, the researcher claimed that some mutations are beneficial in
nature. Was the claim made by the researcher correct? Why or why not?
a) Yes. The mutated variety of almond was edible.
b) No. Not all almond trees produced seeds that were edible.
c) No. The mutation did not affect all varieties of almond trees.
d) Yes. Almond trees with amygdalin grew only in forests.
