Provided above is a graph that illustrates the data that we collected as a class in testing the effects between two types of mutations. Using the graph, answer the following
questions:
a.) Identify the independent variable (hint: the x-axis) and the dependent variable
(hint: y-axis), and state what is being measured. (3 points)
b.) What type of mutation do you think resulted in a significant amount of
changes? And which one resulted in a fewer amount of changes? Explain your
reasoning. (3 points)
c.) In a tiger population, suppose one tiger is affected by a mutation in the DNA
sequence that codes for an enzyme whose function is to synthesize melanin
pigmentation. That tiger appears to look white and have multiple health disorſjers.
What type of mutation do you think may have occurred in the white coloration and
other defects of the tiger? Explain your reasoning using the data above. (4
points)
