The blue lobster is a rare form that results from the overproduction of a certain protein, resulting in genetic variations in lobster coloring. What is the best explanation for how this rare variety arose? Exposure to copper sulfate Dyeing of the lobster by exposure to blue water Exposure to excess light Genetic mutation

The correct answer will be - Genetic mutation.

Explanation:

The variation in the organism is caused by the changes in the heredity material of an organism - DNA which contains coding sequences called "genes". These genes control the phenotype traits of the organism by changing the physiology as they code for the enzymes which act as a catalyst.

The changes in the genes will be known as the mutations which get passed on to the offspring and become permanent.

In the given question if a new variety of lobster is produced due to overproduction of protein then it will be the result of the changes that took place in the genes.

Thus, Genetic mutation is the correct answer.
