I need help with these two questions please it's due in two hours

Question 1 0.5 pts Species A has a gene z that codes for protein Z which is important for bone development. Species B has a DNA sequence similar to z (but slightly differen at the same location as z in the genome, but does not produce protein Z. Species B has to obtain protein Z from its diet otherwise it is prone to develop brittle bones. This suggests that... O and Bare not related species A and ave a common ancestor that can produce protein Z O gene z is a switch O protein Z is not an important protein

Explanation / Answer

It suggest that A and B have a common ancestor but due to a mutation species B is not able to produce protein Z and has to take it in diet. The presence of mutation helps us to support the theory of evolution; as mutation leads to changes in genes; which leads to variations which in turn lead to natural selection. Hence the option: Yes is correct.
