Which of the following statements about the evolution of life histories is correct?

#10. Ecological Principles
  1. Stable environments with limited resources favor r-selected populations.
  2. K-selected populations are most often found in environments where density-independent factors are important regulators of population size.
  3. Most populations have both r- and K-selected characteristics that vary under different environmental conditions.
  4. The reproductive efforts of r-selected populations are directed at producing just a few offspring with good competitive abilities

A researcher studying bacterial toxin predicts that a lysine within the toxin is important for binding it’s target cell.  She used site-directed mutagenesis to change a codon for lysine (AAA) to one for asparagine (AAU).  However, the mutant toxin still binds to its target cell just as well as the wild-type toxin bound and appears to have no other changes. This type of mutation is probably
