A mutation in the gene for insulin results in a protein with a drastically distorted three-dimensional shape. What is the most likely outcome? The insulin protein will not function properly. Other proteins will be mutated to replace it. There will be no effect; the shape is rarely important. The effect will be minor, and the protein will mostly function. None of the above.

Indicate whether the following statements about the biases in the fossil record are true or false. a) inland species are more likely to be preserved than marine species b) organisms with hard body parts are more likely to be preserved than are those composed soft tissues. c) species that existed over a larger area are more likely to be preserved than species existing over a smaller area. d) organisms that lived very long ago are more likely to be found as fossils than organisms that lived relatively recently e) the fossils of larger organisms are more likely to be found than the fossils of smaller organisms
