Question

Your classmate says that when they ran their simulation,anthers were the first trait to mutate (from white to yellow).When you tell your classmate that in your tree the anthers did

not mutate after 800 years, they indicate that they think you did something wrong. What would you tell your classmate?Choose the answer that best fits this situation. "You are right. All of the mutations should show up within 800 years." "Hmmm. I guess I did do something wrong. My tree should be the same as yours." "Every simulation is different, and the mutations arise at random. It is completely possible that another colour might not mutate at all."
