Due to a genetic mutation, a deer is born with a missing toe. This makes it difficult for the deer to escape from predators.

How will this mutation most likely affect the deer population?

The population will decrease or also have the mutation if its able to be passed on

Explanation:

because the deer is missing a toe it cannot run as fast, this means that it will most likely be killed. Because the deer was born with it it is a hereditary mutation. Which can be passed on. That means it's offspring will also have the mutation making the population fragile.
