Question

If a trait A exists in 10% of a population of an asexually reproducing
species and a trait B exists in 60% of the same population, which trait
is likely to have arisen earlier?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Trait B is likely to have arisen earlier as it exists in 60% of population. The variations produced in asexually reproducing species are due to inaccuracies in DNA copying due to environmental factors and variations inherited from one generation to another get accumulated in a subsequent generation.
