Question

Mutation theory couldn’t explain _______

• A. development of mimicry
• B. saltation
• C. variations
• D. chromosomes of flowers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. development of mimicry

• One of the drawbacks of mutation theory was that it couldn’t explain the development of mimicry, the relationship between the position of nectars in flower and also length of proboscis in their insect pollinators.

• The problem was that these cannot be imagined to have developed all of a sudden.
