Select all that apply.
It results in a protein that is no longer functional. It is found in the coding region of the Pitx1 gene. It is found in a regulatory region (a “switch”) upstream of the coding region of the Pitx1 gene. It occurred in a similar DNA region in freshwater stickleback populations all over the world.Explanation / Answer
It is found in a regulatory region (a “switch”) upstream of the coding region of the Pitx1 gene.This region regulates the mutation from one gene to another and helps the generation to continue.
